put them in brown paper bags and put them in a cool closet or in the basement..
Reply:You can plant them in the fall just before it starts to frost, they'll know when to come up again, or if you really do want to store them, they sell sulphur powder to shake them in, put them in a bag and wait til spring.
Reply:Are these paperwhite narcissus or daffodils (also narcissus)? If they are paperwhites, stick 'em in a pot at the endo of October, water them in, put them in a cool well-lighted (not direct sun) place, and watch them grow. When they're 5 or six inches tall, give them more light. They'll bloom in December. If they are any other "narcissus", pot them up and put them in the refrigerator for 30-45 days (called "stratification"), take them out and do as above. You'll have some lovely early spring blooms, whatever they are!
Reply:sUnless the ground if frozen-- stick them in the ground-- I put a half handful of bone meal in the bottom of the hole-- a handful of dirt then the bulb. Don't spill the bone meal-- dogs will dig up the bulbs. If you have other rodents-- mice, chipmunks even squirrels-- you can protect bulbs by laying chicken wire ( hardware store- big box store-- has pentagon or octagon shaped holes in the wire-- bulbs grow thru-- no problem) on the ground after bulbs are planted-- this keeps burrowing animals away from tasty sweet food (bulbs).


Here in zone 7 I've literally planted some in cold near sleet rain-- no problem. ( dirt cheap, that's why-- the "season" of bulb selling was over.....)
Reply:Or you can plant them in pots for indoor enjoyment. Place in sunny window and water. They'll bloom for christmas. what fun
Reply:I bury my bulbs in dry peat moss in an old plastic flower pot. Put in the basement, which is dark and dry, and don't water or anything till spring comes!! If you don't have a basement, then somewhere comparable.
Reply:In the vegetable drawer in your fridge....
