Q.Replanting Surprise Lilies Now Or In The Spring?

Zone 67846 | Anonymous added on October 19, 2025 | Answered

I had some surprise lilies planted by my foundation and when our gutters were replaced, the workers moved the splashguard and inadvertently dug into my lilies. They wre pretty beat up and I dumped them all in a bucket with some moist soil, but now I have no idea how to salvage them. Can I dry them out and replant them in the spring? Or do I need to keep them moist and replant as soon as possible? I’m almost heartbroken over the whole thing!

It may take them a couple years to reestablish but go ahead and replant them now. Here is more:
