Several years ago I planted about 30 asiatic lily bulbs in a 3 foot x 3 foot flower bed . This year they grew and bloomed well but seem to be over crowded . Several large flowers in center and lots of smaller around edge . My question is should I dig up and give more room to grow ?? If so when ??? I live in Central Illinois And if I relocate should I get smaller ones from edge or move larger from center .
When do I replant asiatic lilies???
I would wait until after the heat....early September. I am slightly north of you in Rock Island. The thinning doesn%26#039;t matter where...center or outside as they will do much better when %26quot;reduced%26quot;....you%26#039;ll probably find you have about 6 times as many as when you planted as many are stunted by the overgrowth. If these are day lillies they are VERY hardy so you might move them now....I would wait however as we are just headed into the hottest time of year.
Reply:take both yes dig up split them.
Reply:You can transplant lilies about any time. I have planted and transplanted some lilies as recent as 2 weeks ago and they are doing fine. Try to do it in the morning or evening when it is a little cooler and water well. If it were me, I would move some of the larger ones from the center if you are able to.
