When Should Oriental Lilies Be Moved?

Transplanting oriental lilies is a common question, but the best time to do so is in spring. Lily bulbs produce from bulbs and need to be divided and transplanted in the fall for the best results. Experts recommend late September or early October for this process. Oriental lilies self-propagate and typically overcrowd a garden in three years, so digging up, dividing, and transplanting the bulbs is necessary to keep them thriving.

When transplanting potted lilies, it’s important to remember that greenhouses that produced the lily forced the blooms to come early. Most outdoor lilies will blossom in summer, while Asiatic lilies will blossom in summer. The best time to move lilies is in early fall when the foliage has matured (yellowed). Carefully dig up the clump and separate the bulbs, and you can move them anytime through their growing period as long as you take soil with the bulbs and are careful not to break the sprouts off.

Transplanting lilies in the fall is best done in mid-summer when they’re in full bloom. Leave the leaves on if they’re still green and let them die back naturally. After three or four years, lilies will clump up and need dividing. In autumn, simply lift clumps with a shovel.

In summary, transplanting oriental lilies is a crucial process that requires careful handling, careful handling, and proper care.
