Hi!
I put in a bunch of tulips and hyacinth last autumn and have decided that I can't stand where they are currently situated. They're pretty much done blooming but the foliage is still green. So the question is, when can I move these to a more desirable location without causing any harm?
Thanks in advance,
Erynne
I marked the ones I want to move with a green golf tee so I can find them and move them in the fall. I had a huge mess of tulips, with one kind in there that just didn't work. I used the golf tee trick many years ago and it worked just fine. Fall is the only time I've ever done it, but maybe someone will answer with more experience. Good luck!
Thanks McGlory. Silly me, if I had did a better search, I would have noticed that Gwen had already asked the question on this thread:

I just didn't want to stress the bulbs or worse, not have them come back at all. My neighbor said to cut the foliage back by half or a third and then move them (something she learned from her Grandmother 50 yrs ago) but I'm leery of doing that and can't wrap my brain around the concept of why that would be done.
Maybe I should do the green golf tee trick and wait!
