I'm going to stake out where they are somehow, wait until the foliage dies and dig them up. How do I store them until it's time to plant again? Can I just move them directly after digging them up? If I do store them, how do I do it? Will they grow well in pots? We have some serious yard designing to accomplish and it would be easier to store them. I also bought a couple cheap amaryllis bulbs that came with the peat/pot. Can I plant them outside now, or am I too late for outside planting? Will they grow from the pot if I start them now? Do they like to be moved? My mother in law gave me some that had already grown leaves, and they died without sprouting flowers. I kept them in pots. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I kept crocus and mini daffs in my garage last summer and they're up and blooming now. Quote \| Reply \| Report

For the past couple of years I have been transplanting naturalized daffodils from a neglected piece of property (with permission of course) to my place...while in full bloom! I just dig them up with a generous portion of dirt, roll the clump into a walmart bag, and tote to where I want. (If I had waited till they were done blooming I would never have been able to find them in the weeds.) The daffy's are currently in bloom and hubby just noticed yesterday that they form a bright yellow ring around the island bed beneath our giant cottonwood. Quote \| Reply \| Report
