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 MoreBlooming is underway and I'm camera-happy! Photo heavy
Comments (16)Hi everyone, Thanks to all who commented (or even looked & didn't...LOL). I was straight out today building a brand-new HUGE rock-bordered bed for more daylilies. I had a truckload of loam delivered and was digging those rocks out of my woods for hours...and pushing them to their final destination via wheelbarrow. I then worked on building the rock walls which took the rest of the day til nightfall. I am exhausted and my whole body aches, so I will post new pictures tomorrow. I just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate your friendship and compliments. Nighty-night! Celeste...See MoreSome Seedlings still blooming
Comments (16)I can still drag things out of my lone functioning memory cell on occasion and this was it - lol! I still think something happened in the shipping from one country to another country regarding x-raying the contents of the envelope. You are getting some great seedlings - keep planting.
