Can we put them in the ground now so the can root and then Blume next year. We live in Kansas. I doubt very much that it would be worthwhile. Thank you SO much for your blog. I have bulbs all sitting in the shed at my church garden that never got planted last October.
Reading your blog has encouraged me to go ahead and put them in. My pleasure! Nothing to be lost by planting them now. Meanwhile I hope your mum is on the road to recovery. I have had three pots with all the tulip bulbs dug out by squirrels I think. Glad it might not be too late to get some more in. You should be fine with tulips planted now. Perhaps put chicken wire over your pots or keep them in a shed or garage until the first shoots appear.
Once they are rooted and growing they will be less easy for the squirrels to pull out. I bought all my bulbs and then the wet just went on and on. Our garden, clay, has been uncharacteristically waterlogged. Had to walk on the grass eventually to get the leaves into the last garden bin of December and it completely churned it up. The borders were just too soggy. But this has given me hope that I can pop the bulbs in now. As things are a little drier, I think I will give it a shot.
I am in the Uk and have just been given some spring bulbs, Daffs, tulips and crocuses should I plant them anyway and hope they flower next year or should I store them until the autumn? Thank you for these tips and encouragement. Can I store til next year and how do you store? Hi Cathy. They will be shrivelled and dead by next autumn. Another question, Bulbs are planted in pots but I read on line last night they could freeze in pots.
Ok so I moved to the patio after reading this. Do I need to leave on patio or where should I keep them from now until blooming time. I did put two small containers in the garage by window. I live in the Dallas area. Help again! My September-bought bulbs will be going in today or maybe tomorrow ….
Thank you! We recently had our garden relandscaped, goodness me site clearance was tiring but thankfully we had a skip from a local business to make the process that little bit easier! I am so excited to get back out in the garden this week and start planting!
My garden is normally full of snowdrops this time of year but unfortunately, they all got removed in the process of digging up the back garden. Hopefully just cold enough to chill my tulips, yet not too late for some flowers later on this season! Yes, please do! An update would be good.
I will be planting them tomorrow, hoping to have some flowers from them next year or perhaps later this year. Well, if they are still firm and unblemished they should survive if planted now, although they may not flower very well. Just bought 2 bags of tulip bulbs yesterday as they were on a highly reduced price.
I was hoping they will be fine a bloom later in this season. Just googled it and found your useful webpage. I wish I have found your page before the purchase. Now I am not sure what to do with 80 sprouted tulip bulbs. Would you recommend to wait till the next season or shall I soak them in water and plant them tomorow?
I am in Ireland. Just plant them. You might get some strange flowering behaviour, eg the bulbs trying to flower before the plants develop properly, but feed them afterwards and they might be OK next year or the year after. You may also get lucky and have tulips in very late May, which has happened to me before. Good luck! I wanted to know if I forgot to water the tulip bulbs when planting them is there something I can do to make up for that mistake other than digging back up and watering?
Can I just soak the area, will that be enough? If you live in a very cold location, plant your tulip bulbs in pots and store them in a frost-free garage or basement over the winter then in spring, move them into a sunny position where they will burst into bloom.

Lilies can be planted in either the autumn or spring as they are quite hardy. Being dormant, they will keep for several weeks so long as the storage conditions are right. When you open up your boxes or paper bags, make sure you give the bulbs plenty of air flow and keep them out of direct sunlight.
They need to be kept cool and dry so a garage, outbuilding or garden shed would be perfect. Only a few varieties need to be planted straight away. Erythronium , Allium Ursinum and Anemone Nemorosa are fairly prone to drying out, so it is best to plant them as soon as you can after buying them.
When you get them home, stand the plants upright in their bags with room for air flow, and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Where to Plant Bulbs? Once you know when to plant your bulbs you need to know where.
