I was given a bunch of tulip bulbs, what do I do with them til fall?

They will survive, but it won't hurt to go ahead and plant them now. They need to go through a frost season before they will bloom...so they won't bloom until next spring. If you decide not to plant right now store in a cool, dry, dark place...basement maybe.

You didn't mention where you live, so you may wish to check on local conditions first.


In California, we have to put ours in the refrigerator, as in my area, we don't have the frosts that tulips need to grow.


Good advise on the foliage, don't cut until, it has turned brown. The foliage creates food for your bulb for next year.
Reply:be best to go ahead and plant them now..do not cut off the greenery.cut off greenery after it is all brown..this helps the bulb store food for next year...also when you put them in the ground add bonemeal or some kind of bulb food and water well but dont drown





next yr you should have plenty of blooms
Reply:Plant them as soon as possible - they won't survive until fall out of the ground. They won't bloom this year, but in the spring you should get lots of lovely blooms.
Reply:put them in the refrigerator I ordered bulbs from spring hill last fall but did not want to plant them because I was moving and I called the company and that's what they told me to do so I kept them there for 8 months and I planted them a couple of weeks ago and they are starting to grow now
