Transplanting Oriental Lilies involves choosing the right location and time for the bulbs, which produce from them. For best results, it is recommended to transplant lilies in late September. To minimize transplant shock, it is essential to employ the right techniques for preparing and dividing the bulbs.
Plant Asiatic lilies in late summer to early fall to allow the bulb to establish roots before growing next spring. Clear away any grass, weeds, and debris from a new planting area and ensure it is located in full or partial sun. If planted in the shade, prepare a spot with four or more hours of sunlight, afternoon shade, and an area away from strong winds. Incorporate 3 to 4 inches of compost or peat into the planting area.
Transplanting lilies is easy and requires cutting stems to 5 or 6 inches above the ground and digging several inches around the patch of plants. Rotate the bulb clockwise or counterclockwise until the stem breaks loose from the bulb. Gently dig and cultivate the bed looking for bulbs that can be harvested or moved, adding compost as needed. After moving/harvesting, dig the receiving hole or have a large sturdy bucket, pot, or cardboard box lined with plastic for the lily bulb or clump. Cut off any flowers or buds.
Early fall is an excellent time to dig and divide Asiatic, Oriental, and other garden lilies (Lilium spp). Carefully dig up the clump and replant the bulbs in your desired spot.
