I wanted to purchase some bulbs that have already started to sprout from The Home Depot but I didn't want to plant them outside yet because there is another cold weekend coming. They are planted in a pot with sand. How long can they stay in the sand before planting outside? They are Tulips and Hyacinth bulbs.
If you store them in a cold place, but not freezing, it should stop the growth. The back of the refrigerator should work to slow growth.

idge for a certain length of time and then plant them here in Florida? How to grow spring flowers, ie tulips, daffodils, crocus in South Florida
Yes. This will be done for your flowering needing stratification through the winter. Just put them in the refrigerator for 12 to 16 weeks or so.
