» Feature Writer Angela England - Forgot to Plant Bulbs!

In response to Forgot to Plant Bulbs! posted by Cottage_Garden:


I had to do that one year - I didn't get them in that fall and put them in the fridge for awhile (I think maybe 3 or 4 weeks) and then planted them as soon as I could in the spring. They did OK - not all of them were healthy to put in the ground and not all of them germinated but I'd say I got about 60% that came up that year and about 50% that bloomed (some just put up foliage but bloomed the next year).

It CAN be done but it definately stresses them. You'll likely lose the weakest bulbs and may not get as prolific a bloom flush as you would have otherwise but I'm so frugal (ie cheap) that for me it was worth the try!
