    Hi all
    When is the best time to move and replant crocus's ???, after they have flowered and in the green or when they have died back and you have to dig up the lawn to find them :loll:

    I'd be inclined to dig them up after they've finished flowering and before they die back. They will still die back naturally even though replanted. :)

    Definitely dig them up while you can see them! Planting in the green also helps them re-establish in their new plot
