I heard that you can dry used flower bulbs and save to plant next year. How does one do this?

if you wanted to you could just leave the bulbs in the gorund for next year and not worry about them. it is a lot easyer.

Reply:After the plant itself has died off for the season let it sit for a couple of weeks and dry out. Carefully dig up the bulb and pull off any remaining plant from the top. Shake off the dirt and put the bulbs in a brown paper bag and store in the garage or any dry area til early next spring.


When the time comes just replant them. Better yet, if your soil has good drainage and is healthy leave them where they are. They will come up again next year on thier own.
Reply:After the leaves have already stored up energy for next year you can dig up the bulb when you see the leaves browning up then cut any leaves left on it off and store the bulb in dry saw dust, peat moss, etc. and keep it in a cool dry space in your basement or somewhere where it is dark... then just wait for next year...oh it also might help if you label your bulbs so you will remember if you can...
