Daffodil and Tulip Bulbs

Question

I forgot to plant my daffodil and tulip bulbs in the fall (Zone 7). What can I do to preserve them until next fall or can I plant them sometime between now and the fall planting season? Thank you.

Answer 1

You could go ahead and plant them now, but keep in mind that they probably won't bloom. You can also store your bulbs until next season, though depending on where you are located, this may vary somewhat between bulbs.
