Hi Nick; We transplant lycoris year round, and have moved hundreds of spring-foliage lycoris over the last month.

Can anyone comment on the best time to transplant Lycoris species and hybrids that produce their foliage in the spring? With the winter-foliage types like L. radiata, there's only one dormant period, so summer the obvious time to transplant. However, the spring-foliage types (e.g. L. longituba, L. squamigera) have two periods when there is no activity above ground: late spring/early summer after the foliage fades but before flowering, and autumn/winter after flowering but before leaves sprout. I guess the short version of this question is: At what time of year do Lycoris grow new roots?
