I have a bunch of old bulbs that have not been planted in years. Will they still bloom if planted?

Question

I have a variety of bulbs that were purchased and stored in a shed for about 5 years. Can they still be planted?

Answer 1

If they were stored in a cool, dry location free from frost and heat, bulbs can be stored for years. If your bulbs are still firm and don't look moldy or feel soft, I would go ahead and plant them and see if they come up. However, the older the bulb is, it decreases in quality.
