I took the bulbs out of the container, can I plant them in the ground and if yes, when?

Question

I am a novice at gardening. I thought I was doing the right thing by removing the bulbs from the container. The bulbs are all dried out. Can I or how can I save them and plant them in the ground? I still have 3 containers left? Thank you.

Answer 1

Most bulbs may be removed from the pot after all the blooms and foliage have died. Separate the bulbs from the old soil and store them in a cool dark place before planting them again in the fall.
