Transplant lily of the valley?
Lily of the Valley %26quot;bulbs%26quot; are called pips. They are small, white, bulb like things. Look at where the leaves come up out of the ground, put the shovel in about 4 inches away from the leaves and lift the soil. The pips should be about 4-6%26quot; below the surface. When you lift the soil you will see the pips attached to the leaves. Loosen the dirt and gather some of the pips with leaves attached, dig a hole about 4-6%26quot; deep where you want to plant them, stick them in the ground, cover and water.
