April 7, 2011Q.Storing Bulbs From Pots Until Planting
We purchased tulips in pots for indoor color. The flowers have all shed and we will plant the bulbs outdoors when our grounds person can make it here to do this. How do we store the plants until then? Is dark okay? Do we keep watering or let them dry? Should we leave them in the soil, or put the bulbs in bags?

April 22, 2011Q.Planting Forced Tulip Bulbs Outside
I live in Zone 7a in southern Nevada and got a pot of grocery store blooming forced tulips for Easter. I know I need to leave the foliage on as long as possible, to let the bulbs build up food. But once the foliage dies back, what do I do with the bulbs? Leave them in the pot? Take them out and plant them in the ground? Our climate is very dry and hot through the summer. Do they need any water through the summer? I know they may not bloom again, but I'd like to try.

May 7, 2011Q.Container Tulips That Have Bloomed
I have two containers of tulip bulbs that were purchased for me for my birthday. They bloomed beautifully and now the green is dried up brown. What should I do with the bulbs now? Cut back the brown and take them out of the soiled containers and store them in my refrigerator to be planted in the fall? I live in Richmond, Va.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, you can take them out and store them, though I would store them in the garage so that they get heat. They need heat over the summer to produce a bloom.
You can also just go ahead and plant them now. This article will help:
