I know I asked this before but can't find my original post.
I've got several bulbs that I will need to move and lots of babies as well. Can I move them in the fall if the foliage has not turned brown?

Since several of the stalks are very tall, I know I can't cut them all the way down till they turn brown, but what about the top portion where the blooms had been?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, you may cut the tops anytime after bloom. If you're moving bulbs late in the Fall, I think it is safe to cut them back by half to make the move easier.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?
