I've deadheaded them and am waiting for the foliage to die off. I planted some of them too close to a bleeding heart and need to move them. How soon can I dig up the bulbs and transplant them? A: Most tulips aren't great about coming back well in ensuing years no matter what you do, but waiting until the foliage dies back completely is one thing that helps. So long as the foliage is green, it's still absorbing sunlight and manufacturing plant sugars that will "recharge" the bulb for next year.
While you might get lucky if you dig them up at the beginning of the growing season and move them to a new garden, odds are you'll damage the fragile bulbs and they'll either die or have difficulty blooming. In the fall, bulbs have completed their growing cycle and lie dormant. Moving dormant tulips doesn't interrupt the growing cycle and makes the bulbs less susceptible to injury. If you move them just before they start popping up in the spring, there's a chance the delicate bulbs will experience shock or injury that affects their blooming.
If you must move tulips during the growing season, it's best to wait until the blooms have begun to brown, shrivel and fall away. The chance of damage and injury isn't as low as in the late fall, but it's less than in the early spring or when the tulips are in bloom. Cut them back to nearly ground level to help the bulbs save energy they would usually spend on maintaining the stems.
Carefully dig up bulbs, bringing soil with them to avoid disturbing roots. Separate any bulbs that need dividing before replanting. Plant at depth recommended for that specific bulb type.

Instructions Prepare new planting location first ensuring conditions are optimal for the type of bulb. To transplant in-ground bulbs, dig several inches around bulb area and carefully remove from soil and plants, much like harvesting potatoes.
If the bulbs are clumped together, which can mean they are reproducing to create more bulbs, you can either divide them or keep them as they are. Hopefully I can get some grass in there!

Plants in-doors and out, need a good parent. I only have one plant, a small one on the coffee table in my living room, we get along fine and I take the time to make sure it gets what it needs, water, light, good soil.
If you don't have time, no problem Its OK not to have in-door plants. If you must have a plant, just buy some flowers at a local market that are in season, then when they fade away, wait a week or two and buy another bunch and enjoy.
Just try and stick with Local in Season fresh cut flowers. Its August not much blooming, but a few tree's have lovely Autumn flowers, and of course, gourds and a pumpkin will soon be available Mix up your need for a plant with these ideas. Good luck.
