Dear Anita and all, Lycoris squamigera is generally a vigorous grower and multiplies well. Each mature bulb produces a single bloom stalk. I'd guess those bulbs with 2 flower stalks have at least 4 bulbs underground, maybe more. Some bulbs will divide each year and can eventually form individual clumps of 8 or more bloom stalks with more immature smaller bulbs underground. You can safely dig Lycoris either a few weeks before bloom (hard to guess) or right after the bloom stalks have died down. Divide them into individual bulbs and replant immediately . Do not allow roots or bulbs to dry out during this procedure. Water well. This is one of the easiest Lycoris species for northern gardens. Enjoy Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
