hi everyone
i have a question re tulip bulbs.
I purchased a lot of potted tulips this year intending for them to go in the ground.
But unfortunately due to being busy with work and family did not get around to it.

Please what can i do with the bulbs now the plants have finished flowering.
I would put them in the ground in garden but still have a lot of tree foliage in the way from cutting back hedge in the winter.

Once the leaves have died down, stop watering, empty them out and store in paper bags, somewhere cool and dry and rodent free. Plant out in October.

You've got two choices - as you didn't plant them back in Autumn, you can either plant them now and hope for the best (but they may not grow) or you can wait till autumn, again hoping, this time for them not to rot or go soft in the meantime.
