will bulbs still bloom if left unplanted over winter?
Comments (12)emmgus, I once forgot some daffodil bulbs (left in a refrig drawer) and planted them out. They did not bloom that year...but they survived and have bloomed now for several years (and appear to be increasing). It may be worth your while (for next year...as these bulbs are perennial)to plant them if they are still viable...not damp, soft or mushy. Well, let me amend that. It depends on the variety of tulips...whether they will perennialize for you. kokoverde, glads overwinter here in my zone 7 and dahlias will in a protected site (I have dahlias coming up now that made it through a record cold January here...they are against the back of my home, however, and stay a bit warmer there.). I have not had any luck overwintering calla lilies (outside); however, my neighbor has beautiful yellow ones with spotted leaves that come back every year on her hill (I call it her zone 8 microclime). Angel wing begonias seem to hang around for me, but, in general, I would consider them to not be hardy. I can't think of any phlox that grow from bulbs? I believe sparaxis and ixia are both So. African bulbs, so I would think zone 8 or so... Last year I dug a number of bags of bearded iris as I needed the space...they were left in the bags for some time...and one of my neighbors told me she still has some to plant. They still look better than the dried up ones you buy in the big box stores....so, I'm thinking they'll do okay, but might not bloom this year. Good luck with everything!...See MoreHAVE: Trading off left over plants

Comments (14)Stsuh, how are you thses days? My life has been crazy and upside down these days, but getting better.Thank you my good friend) Ben..Did you think it would do this well here? I remember when it was just about 1 inch high and one cutting when you sent me it..One of my faves buddy. I hope things are ok across the pond) I love how yours looks too..It is very healthy..I have had some very cold nights and in fact, cooler than usual although the sun was hot by day. That is what made a difference. A squirrel ripped mine to parts, the skinny fingers you speak of. I am hoping to find the remians of it before the hard freeze set in(( In fact, he took down many of my plants darn rodent! Josh, do it up buddy!! In it's own put it should go..Funny how I can get such vivid colors,and you can flower yours! In fact, if you get this one to flower, I'll send you 100 bucks.lol Thanks buddy.
