They look great. I wouldn’t move them, but if I HAD to it would be in the autumn when they’ve made themselves ready for their winter nap

They’ll spread where they want to go. No need to fuss with them.

I wouldn’t say they’re dying. This a bulbous plant, so lots of energy stored to enable the to produce these flowers. As they flower, they’re recharging the bulb from the leaves. Not uncommon for the bottom leaves to start dying off, if it’s starting from the bottom usually not an issue. As soon as they have dropped their last petal, snap off the seeds heads ( leave any leaves) these will slowly die back too and around autumn ( depending where you are) they will disappear completely and reappear in the spring summer.

Just be lucky you don’t have red Lilly Beatles

They will multiple over the years. At some point, you can dig them up, separate them, and then replant.

They are so vibrant! Very pretty. I just discovered some I threw in a random spot in the yard two years ago lol. I have no idea what color they are but I can tell they are lilies bc of the greenery. I can’t wait to see what they bloom into lol.
Nah. Those are fine. In a couple years if theyare too dense you can divide them but these are not a problem. A lot of people including me plant them this way on purpose.

Wait until they go dormant before dividing. Don’t try to do it now!!

Don’t worry, they’re fine. Nothing can get rid of these lol. They’re sure pretty though!

I’ve found lilys are pretty tolerant to it, so are daffodils. Irises not so much. You can dig out and separate every few years – spread them out or sell them – I recently sold 100 bulbs for $100 on marketplace 🤑🤑

New here, are those day lilies?

I have the same (from Home Depot). They died completely last winter and came back this spring. Once they die in autumn, you can dig up the bulbs and plant them apart if you want. This spring, one of the shoots got broken accidentally, and now I see smaller shoots coming up from that stalk. This thing doesn’t die. Lilies forever!
It’s normal these are my moms from last year you can always dig the bulbs up In The fall and spread them out. The bulbs will eventually split and they can get pretty crowded after a few years these are about 4 years since being last dug up.
