Storing Flower Bulbs |
|
|
I live in Maine and I recently bought about 150 bulbs at a really low price. Some of them are already starting to grow and I am asking what I have to do with them so they don't dry out and die. I'm thinking that I should put them all in a covered container in potting medium. Then once the ground is warm I wonder if I can plant them this spring. My zone is 5-6 but zone 4 plants are great here. So my question is, "Can I do all this and have them OK to plant this spring?"
Hardiness zone: 5b

I"ve had excellent luck with planting spring blooming bulbs in the spring. I once tried to save bulbs over the winter as I didnt get them all planted in the fall. They rotted. I should have taken measures to protect them, I guess. I plant them all. If they dont grow, they make good fertilizer. (lol)
Good luck. I am sure you will enjoy your bulbs when they bloom.

Wow, never thought of that. Ty, do I use a potting medium and put the carton in a cool dark place too?

You can use an egg carton, that's been cleaned, to store your plant bulbs till you're ready to plant them. Just label what they are and put where you won't forget they're there.
