Q.Prechilled Bulbs
Hello! Is it possible to plant prechilled bulbs such daffodils and tulips in the spring and have good results? I would like to order some prechilled bulbs now (mid January in NE Wisconsin) and refrigerate until I can plant them in the spring. Thank you for your advice!

Certainly! You can successfully plant prechilled bulbs like daffodils and tulips in the spring by ordering them now and refrigerating until planting time. Keep the bulbs in the refrigerator in a cool, dark place to maintain dormancy. Wait until the threat of frost has passed in late spring to plant them in well-draining soil with adequate sunlight. Follow recommended planting depths and water thoroughly after planting for optimal results. Enjoy the beautiful blooms when they emerge in the spring!
