I bought tulip and hyacinth bulbs last fall but did not plant them. Will they be good next year to plant?

If the bulbs are firm they are still good. Plant them as soon as the ground thaws.





These species of bulbs need a cold period (vernilization) in order to flower. Unless you stored the bulbs in a cold locations (garage, fridge etc.) you will not get flower this spring. Bloom should come the following year.

only if you have kept them in a cool dry place
Reply:Keep them in a paper bag . Keep them in a cool, dark place, they should be good for the next planting.
Reply:As long as you kept them in a cool dark place and they are still moist they should be fine.

If any of them are still firm but soft/pliant (not mushy) plant them NOW.





A bulbs life is like a potato; if kept under ideal conditions it can last 3-4 weeks in good condition. After that they begin to deteriorate drawing moisture to keep it alive. The dead ones are usually 'petrified' other might get mushy and infect other bulbs.
