I don't think it is a dumb question. I change my plan all the time. Growing Lilies can be moved if you are "EXTREMELY" careful so that you don't break off the shoots, most especially when they are a foot tall like that. They'll stop growing for a short while but should take off again and bloom for you this summer.
Good luck.

Thanks for your help, pitimpinai! Can I pot them up? If so, what size container will they need? Thanks!

I have never potted them myself so I don't really know. I have seen pictures of them in very large pots, though, mixing with other plants.

Lilies can grow very tall depending on the type. I would use a pot large enough so it would not topple and give them enough room to grow well.

We were all beginners at one time...and the folks here are very very helpful.

I pot up lilies all the time...I get these discount bulbs in NYC that I cannot stop buying...and I pot them up all the time. I put 3 or 4 into a 12 inch container and they do fine. Put in about 4 inches of potting soil into the pot, then the bulbs, then fill it up with more potting soil. Give it a good watering and wait. Since yours are already growing, put in enough potting soil to reproduce how it came out of the garden.

If I like the flowers alot, I find space for them in the garden during the Fall.

If you pot them up, remember that lilies are heavy feeders and the good stuff tends to get washed out of the container. I feed mind once a month with some liquid fertilizer.

I too have moved lilies once they've sprouted...generally they're only 5 inches or so high but as long as you move them SLOWLY and CAREFULLY (read that gently), you have a good chance of the lily coming through with flying colors.

Welcome to the Lily world...I'm rather new at this compared to others. I started on a lark about 3 years ago...but once I saw how easy it was to have such magnificent flowers in my garden, well there was no stopping me.

One more thing...after your lilies bloom, cut of the dead flowers and let the stalk remain until it dies back naturally. If you want to transplant again, wait until the Fall.

Enjoy your plants!
