yes ,you can transplant them now esp. in a have to case.they're both as strong as most weeds : ) but oh they are beautiful. Good luck and don't work too hard.Vickie

Don't cut the leaves off the daffodils-they make the nutrients for next years flowers.Just try to plant them the right depth-check but I think its maybe 5-6" deep.I probably wouldn't cut the leaves off the iris unless they are damaged,diseased or yellow-you may still get a few flowers.I am a greedy pig for flowers!!!If you have a choice of which to plant,do the daffodils but get the iris in dirt soon too.Posy Pet

Plant the daffodils back at the depth they were planted and they will probably continue to bloom if they aren't finished. They are easy to transplant at just about any time as long as you get them right back in the dirt. You can't hardly kill iris but it may stop them from blooming for a year or so.

I agree with Posy Pet. When the daffolids finished with blooms then started to yellow. I put rubber band to hold them until dead. (it would be look nice)Then I pulled it off when it is EASY to pulled off. OR just leave it alone until very brown leaves. Then mow over daffolids.

Hello, just remember to not plant the irus to deep. I just barely cover the rhizomes. Russ.

A couple of years ago I dug a bunch of the old style daffodils (some had buds on them) for my son...packed them in a box and shipped them off to Oklahoma...he planted them right away and they went right on and bloomed for him. Not sure that would have worked with a King Alfred....they seem a bit less tough to me.

As for Iris...my neighbor tosses them out on bare dirt...no effort to plant and they take hold.

may i add my 2 cents? iris are SO hard to kill--unless they're expensive ones--- in my big(too big, but dont tell)i recieved a $100. trial, new iris, along with 2 $60. ones, these were bonus'es for my order-- they promptly died. so did most of my order--from california, guess they didnt like our ozark soil.

I recently picked up from Wal-Marts, the spring packaged iris. They were marked down and look pretty rough and dried up. I've not lost much if they're goners but for the price, thought I'd try. Should I do anything specific before planting? Having never had a real garden before, it's a learning experience for me. My thanks,

Mary, I would just plant them and water them in. Never put more than one inch of soil over them, and I usually try to use less than that because they will gather leaves and stuff and increase their cover as they go. They need the sun to bake the tops of their rhizomes in order to bloom. They looked so bad this year, I decided not to buy them, but marked down... hummm! ;O)
