I have Narcissus bulbs in a dish. These bulbs bloomed and are now dieing off. What do I do with the bulbs ?

You can put them in your garden, and they might bloom next year, but no promises. You can generally only "force" bulbs once, except for amaryllis bulbs, so either put them in your garden outdoors, or pitch them in the trash/compost heap.

If you live in a cold climate, plant the bulbs in your garden, give TLC, and hope for the best.--

In a warm or moderate climate, replant the bulbs in a glass vase filled with water and pebbles--for a decoration, or plant in the garden and allow mother nature to take its course.


Good luck!
Reply:You have 2 choices. You can wait 'til the tops shrivel up, then dry them out. Plant in the garden. They have been forced, so they MAY not bloom again. Or, you can throw them out. It's up to you.
Reply:If it's a bulb it'll come back and bloom every year. But plant them in soil.
Reply:You can plant them outside but beware....they multiply like crazy and can take over a flower bed in two years.
