storing daffodils?

18 years ago

Several months ago I salvaged a large bed of daffodils. As I had alot of things going on at the time, I just potted them up in a large tote with holes in the bottom. Now that the foilage has all died back, what is the best way for me to store the bulbs until I can make a bed for them this fall? The DH says the totes have gotta go....LOL!!

If you can just move the totes, set them somewhere out of the way that is cool and dry: a closet, the basement, etc. and leave them there until planting time in the fall. Otherwise, dig them out of the totes, cut off the dead foliage and store them inside where it's cool in an airy place: onion bags are ideal. The main thing is cool and dry.
