Author Message   John_ny  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 04:55 pm EST :    I have several clumps of daffodils. They come up every year but, for the last few years, they don't flower. I think they're too crowded. Can I dig the clumps now, and carefully thin them? They're about 2 inches out of the ground now. Or do I have to wait until the foliage dies back? My only problem with that is, that by the fall, the foliage has disappeared, and I wouldn't know precisely where to dig. I suppose I could put some stakes around the clumps, to help find them later. I also have the same problem with some Callas.

You may not get flowers this year but should the following.

Good luck. Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   John_ny  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 08:59 am EST :    Thanks. It appears that the main clumps have no flowers this year. A couple of smaller ones have a few flower buds each. John_ny - NY, Zone "USDA Zone 7 Sunset Zone 34"
