You can just store these in peat until the sale and they should be fine. The foliage will die back, but that is no big deal. They flower after a period of drought as the name implies so if they are the right size they should be ready to flower when they get planted and watered if all goes well. I really like these as they are trivial to grow and flower, they set seed like crazy and if you like to see odd new flowers in the garden you can get these as they cross very easily. Best of luck with your sale :o) Dan

Thanks. Can I cut off the dead stuff so the bulbs look a little more attractive for sale? Carol

Hi Carol,

I cut off the dead leaves when I dig mine and store them for winter....and I store them for a loooooong winter :o) Dan
