How to handle and store bulbs?
Just because the bulbs look dormant when you receive them does not mean that they do not need tender loving care. Bulbs are constantly growing and developing and have sensitive flowers inside. Careless handling can mean problems and poor results at blooming time. Some tips: • Do not leave bulbs in the package in which they arrive. Take them out of the shipping carton and store the packages in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them. • Plant the bulbs at the very first opportunity you have. You will get the best results this way as they are usually shipped at the appropriate planting time.
