Storing Bulbs

Yes, they are best taken out of soil and pots, and left in a dry, cool place. Repot them in the autumn and keep them well watered for flowering again in spring.

Hi Sjw alternatively you can put them into the ground where you would like them to grown next year - both routes will work. Personally I'd plant them in ground now so I couldn't forget about them :-)

if you want them to grow next year they should be allowed to die back naturally, feeding the bulb etc. I sometimes put them into plastic pots and put them behind the greenhouse where they get water ect.

SBG - honestly it works just as well to plant in the ground and feed from there... it is something we have done several times.

Yes Moon grower I do that too, i meant if sjw didnt want to put them in the ground. I keep tete et tete for baskets only so they dont go in the ground :o)
most of the bulbs that have been in pots this year will be found permanent places , hopefully ;o)

I prefer to get new bulbs for pots - so everything goes into the garden

ooh moon grower you have changed your picture. What flower are you sniffing?
