It would be best to let them grow and then transplant them in the fall or at the end of the year, but I don't think that will be possible, right? Can you dig them now and immediately transplant them into your new place?

I don't know whether to dig them now, or wait til we move in 1-2 months (late April to late May), pot them or what? I really don't want to pot them. Would it be possible to dig with a root ball in late March/early April & plant them immediately in-ground?
I do not grow my lilies in pots. They have always been grown in-ground.
Any advice is much appreciated. I don't want to lose them.
Thanks!

I can dig them at the very end of this month, March, and transplant into the new garden. Don't you agree that would be the least traumatic procedure if I dig deeply & get a good size root ball with soil attached? I think putting them in pots at this time may be worse, since I do not have any experience with growing lilies in pots.

They look very healthy. Are you getting hooked on lilies?
