Lilies: Is it okay to move lillies when they've sprouted , 1 by Moby

Yes, you can move them and if you're very careful they'll probably bloom just fine.

Start by digging much wider and deeper than you think you need to and work your way over to the bulb. Lift as much soil around the bulb and stem as possible. If you have your holes by the fence already dug, then you can slip them right in without losing too much soil.

Good luck!

PS. Worse case scenario ~ if you break a stem, go ahead and plant the bulb. It won't flower this year just should be OK next year.

This is Lilium lancifolium, commonly known as a tiger lily
