For the past two yrs my jonquils (maybe they're daffodils - I don't know the difference) have come up but had no blooms.

Walter Reeves on Feb 10, 2012It won't hurt to transplant IF you get a big clump of dirt around the bulbs. But my preference is to wait until the leaves have turned yellow in May and move them then. Either way, fertilize now to push more leaves onto the plants so they absorb more sunshine.Helpful Reply

Louise on Feb 10, 2012OK, I'll wait until May. The weather will be nicer to be outside, anyway. Will the E.B. Stone Sure Start be OK to use now? Sprinkle around them and water?Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Feb 11, 2012I'm not sure what the makeup of that fertilizer is, Louise. Brent Heath of Brent and Becky's Bulbs recommends one with a little bit of nitrogen, a fair amount of phosphorus and a lot of potassium, because potassium builds strong roots and a bulb is essentially one big root.Helpful Reply

Louise on Feb 11, 2012Thanks for the info. I have no idea of the makeup but will check it out and get another kind if it doesn't measure up. I rely a LOT on the advice of others for gardening, so appreciate input.Helpful Reply
