December 23, 2012Q.Name of Plant, How to Take Care of It.
I bought a white flowering plant for Christmas and I think the name starts Col---- there were no instructions and I want to know if it is strictly an indoor plant or can I put it out in spring? Blossoms are small, little larger than Crocus.

December 24, 2012A.There is the autumn crucus, Colchicum. If that is what your plant is, it will need to be planted outdoors in the spring.

February 5, 2014Q.Growing Crocus Indoors
I received a multi-plant indoor container which had crocus as part of it. I transplanted the crocus to its own pot, as they took up a lot of room. They have since bloomed and are now looking like green onions. What should I do with them until April (it's only Feb. and I live in Calgary, Ab. Canada.)?

Certified ExpertA.Did you pre-chill your crocus bulbs or buy pre-chilled bulbs? They cannot form a bloom without pre-chilling. Here is some information on pre-chilling: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/bgen/how-to-plant-bulbs-in-the-south.htm

March 7, 2014Q.Crocus Bulbs
My son-in-law's mother passed away recently and he would like to plant crocus bulbs on her grave. We live in zone 5 and I know normally the bulbs should be planted in the fall. Can they, however, be planted now or would it be best to wait until fall to do it?

Certified ExpertA.These are normally planted in the fall but if you live in an ideal climate, it shouldn't hurt to plant them in spring. It might depend on the bulb's maturity as to whether or not it blooms.

I want to know when to dig up and store winter and spring bulbs - crocus, daffodils and tulip bulbs. Now growing in lots.

Certified ExpertA.In your area, you should not need to dig up spring bulbs (crocus, daffodils and tulips). They actually need the cold to bloom from year to year, so it is best to leave them in the ground to get the cold they need.
In the fall, if you have planted tender bulbs like amaryllis or gladiolus, they can be dug up to be stored after you get your first hard (killing) frost. Typically the leaves will brown indicating they need to be brought in.
