Transplanting Lycoris (Pink Magic Lily / Naked Ladies) in Zone 5

Mary is digging clumps of Lycoris from a neighbor's yard before a house sale. Zone 5 is fine for these hardy bulbs.

Planting Instructions

• Separate bulbs; plant individually 1 foot apart (they multiply rapidly).
• Depth: 6 inches.
• Add bone meal to the hole.
• Water well, then leave alone.

Foliage appears next spring, dies back by summer, and flower stalks emerge in August.
