This Fall I have to redo my daylily bed (take all the plants out, add compost & fresh soil and then replant). Several cultivars died in the bed so I should have some extra space. I have some seedlings that have bloomed for two years now. They are forming clumps far more rapidly than I anticipated. I want to have them bloom one more year before deciding what to do with them.
My question is, if I move the seedlings will this set them back so much that I need to keep them for two more years for evaluation? I have 45 seedlings to plant and very little space so I need to decide on those older seedlings sooner rather than later.
The seedlings wouldn't be out of the ground very long before being planted but I'm not sure how much damage they will incur when I dig them out with a trowel (no space for a shovel).
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
