Thread OP

Firstly let me say I am in Australia. My jonquils are overcrowded and not flowering well. They are under a liquid amber. I have lifted some clumps. I have done it after flowering as the soil is still damp and it's easy to dig them up. I have left the green leaves intact. There are a few bulbs which appear to be the correct size. However there are lots of small 'daughter bulbs'. If I plant these will they grow into a healthy size eventually? There are so many small bulbs I can't imagine I will have the space to plant them all. Is there anything else I can do with these under-developed bulbs? Can I just throw some good soil over groups of them and hope for the best?

As long as they are not too crowded when replanting, the offsets and daughter bulbs should grow and bloom in a year or two.
