Can you dig up bulbs after they bloom?

I have some bulbs in the ground that I had to plant last month for spring blooming. It froze, then got warm again and I decided I wanted the bulbs in a different place. It had only been a few weeks. I dug them up and found all the tulips, but I only found 2 out of the many narcissus.





In the spring when the greenery start to shoot up, can I dig the up and put them somewhere else without causing them not to bloom or killing them?

Can you dig up bulbs after they bloom?
I would not move them until they have finished blooming and have died back for the year; otherwise, you will disturb their root system and probably kill the plant. Mark them so that you'll know where they are after blooming.





Your other alternative, of course, is simply to plant more bulbs in your other spot, if possible.





Either way - good luck!
Reply:I wouldn't move the bulbs once they have sprouted. You're better off marking where the plants are with popsicle sticks or golf tees once they have sprouted. Wait until they have finished blooming and died back then dig them and transplant them.
Reply:No. They must be dormant when you move them. This is because they form roots for months before blooming. When you disturb them, you actually tear them apart. Wait until they bloom, the foliage turns yellow or brown, approximately 8-10 weeks later is okay, and then take them up and move them where you want them.
