Karen, yes you can move your jacks now or later this month. I'd probably
wait till later this month. I plant the corms just as I do lily bulbs--3
times the depth of the bulb. Not sure if that is quite right or not, but
they always grow. I did collect those red seed clusters one fall, and
planted them in a flat of pure compost. I placed the flat in an unheated
greenhouse over winter. The next spring, nothing happened. I didn't get
around to dumping them and in mid-late June, the babies started popping
up. I later transplanted them to a shady area. They aren't very big yet,
but they are coming. I was just guessing about what to do with the
seeds. If anyone has a better method, I'd be interested in knowing it.
