A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Tulip bulbs

I was just given several tulip bulbs. I was wondering if I could store them and if so what is the best way. I would perfer to plant them late fall.

I would say plant them now, and let them leaf out. bulbs need the leaves throughout summer to gain energy for next years flowers

i would plant them now also. they will mature a little late but you might get lucky and have a bloom.

Thanks Aslock for starting this question.


On Easter, recieved 2 pots of forced tulips. I have 12 bulbs in all.--the blooms are spent now & I was wondering, do I cut them off or let them go brown & do I wait to plant them out until the fall since they have already bloomed, or do I plant them out now????
