The best time to move them is six weeks after they have bloomed, or, if you can remember where they are, in the fall. Use a garden fork to dig them up, taking care not to stab the bulbs. Make sure the new location is sunny and well drained. Then fork over the soil, adding compost or manure, and replant the bulbs. Add bloom fertilizer to the soil to help them on their way.
When can I transplant a bloomed tulip?
Sunday morning at 8 o colck sharp
Reply:Your tulip bloomed indoors right? If you live in a warm place, you could do it now. If you expect frost soon - don't do it. You know the tulip will only be in bloom for a short time. I went to Holland a few years ago and found the people plant their bulbs in individual pots. They plant the entire pot in the spring and dig up the pot when the blooms are over and plant something else, saving the potted blub for next year in a cold place.
