Do I Separate Clumps of Tulip Bulbs When Moving Them

Question

I am in the process of digging up tulip bulbs to move to a new location. Upon digging them up, I am finding clumps of bulbs of different sizes together. Do I separate these clumps into individual bulbs or plant the whole clump intact?

Answer 1

If the tulips are overcrowded, then you can separate the bulbs and replant elsewhere (or even give some away to others). Otherwise, you can simply separate the clumps themselves and replant.
