Daffodil bulbs missed getting planted this fall.

I got this bag of daffodil bulbs that I never got planted this fall. If I plant them back next spring, will they still survive or will I have to cold treat them some how? I don't expect or need to have them flower this year, just hopefully survive to be replanted next fall.

Just plant them next spring as long as they're firm.

If you have a cool area (fridge or cold room) storing them there will give a cool treatment, if there's a spot in the garden where the soil isn't frozen solid planting now might be an option as well.

It'll have to be next spring. Here in MinneSNOWta the temp today didn't make out of the minus column. I definitely do not have any outside ground that isn't frozen solid. I may stick a few in a flower pot or two for the back of the fridge or out on the front porch just to see how they do.

On the up side everybody up here can walk on water for about four months of the year. :)
