How can I transplant these Wild Lily bulbs into my garden?
Daylilies are best transplanted in the early spring or after they are finished blooming. If you are taking them from someplace else, somebody probably owns the land, and it would be proper to ask permission. Let your conscience be your guide.

Reply:Take a flat nosed spade hold it vertical stomp it down through the tubers take as many as you can deal with. Separate the tubers before planting. Plant to the same depth .which is probably quite near the surface. Water well for a few days .sit back and have a nap. Don’t do it to close to the new plants however you have seen the LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS right
Reply:Regarding not caring about it being illegal......
My brother's in laws were farmers. His mother in law planted day lillies, phlox, black eyed susans and other perennials in the ditch along the roads bordering their farm. She lost plants every year to city folk who arrived with shovels and pots to dig them out. Even when she caught them in the act, they seldom apologized and said they thought the plants were growing wild and it would be okay.
So, please, at least ask permission from the land owner before you dig. There really is no excuse to steal daylillies, they are readily available and inexpensive at garden centres.
Reply:cut the flower stem off. a planting will bloom all summer or longer. it would be best to wait until late fall
