Transpanting lilies and when??

Posted by Lary1047 z5 MI (My Page) on

Hello everyone!!!

We live in Michigan in Zone 5. A number of years ago we built a bed of asiatic lilies and boy did they take off. Now the bed is overflowing and we would like to know the procedure of how and when to start transplanting. They are very close together and many varieties also. We did not plant them that close however the bed is filled now. We have many that bloom throughout the summer and just a mass of beautiful color and smells.

Please give us some suggestions, we do not want to do this transplant wrong.

Thanks Lary and Deb

It is best to do this in the Fall after the stalks have
browned. Check out this website with pictures on how
to go about doing this:

Lary,
As bc said, fall is best. However if you find that you are unable to get it all done in the fall, I can tell you that I have done transplants in late spring [lily tips visible above the ground] w/ no prob
