I have various types of bulbs from a garden that was disassembled this month / how do I store them?

An older woman who is having heart surgery had a beautiful flower garden, she no longer wanted so I personnally removed each and every bulb. However some have not flowered yet. Will this effect them?

the best plan is to put them in the ground as soon as possible. If that is not an immediate option, then bury them in light humus, or loamy soil. Many perennials bloom at different times, so just because they haven't bloomed yet, doesnt mean they won't
Reply:In a cool dark dry place that's all i know
Reply:Put them in cardboard boxes and store them in a cool, dry, dark place until you are ready to replant them.
Reply:Keep them in a cool, dry and dark place. Do not put them in anykind of sealed container or they will rot. Don't allow moisture to get to them or they will rot.

You can actually grow them indoors in a bulb starter or bulb vase.

Bulb vases have a wide open shape and contain a ring with small spikes that hovers near the bottem of the vase. You fill the vase with water just up to the ring and place the bulbs on top. With proper light, ventalation and maintian the water level, you can get beautiful flowers in your home!
Reply:If you aren't replanting them this spring, you should cut of the majority, but not all, of the green parts. Keep them in a cool, dry, dark place...like a cellar.



Your best option is probably to try to replant them in your garden now. It's still early in the gardening season. They will probably bloom about the same, but as the bulbs get bigger with each year, they'll bloom better and better if you take care of them. Then in the fall, if you want more for next spring, split some of the bigger bulbs.
Reply:Make sure they are clean, and dry. If they go int storage damp, MOLD AND MILDEW. Not a pretty site. Best bet is to just plant them some where and put them where you want later.
