I did a little web research and found these are all tender bulbs in my area. I knew the glads were but i didnt realize the others were. I'll stick them in the ground and see what happens, dig them in the fall and see if I can keep them over.

Sometimes, it is just easier and cheaper in the long run, to buy new (non-hardy) bulbs in the spring. However, by all means try to dig them to store over the winter. You don't have much to lose but your time.

I am sure it is easier, but not so sure how it could be cheaper. I dig Dahlia tubers up every fall, divide and store them successfully. I give away over 100 a year to friends and family, and they can cost $5-$8 a piece.

Sorry mandolls. I was only referring to the bulbs you mentioned in the post, glads, dutch iris and pineapple lilies.

OK - You have a good point. I think these were marked down to less than $3 for 50 glads. When I think about it, it would take several hours to dig, clean and store them. Because of my Dahlias, I am in the habit of digging and saving, but I dont think these will be special enough to spend the extra time.
