Hi all,

I got a pot full of the tiny daffodils and a pot of hyacinths that a
neighbor gave me. The flowers have dried up pretty badly. Do I cut the
greenery off of them and plant them outside now or should I wait until
fall? I didn't know if I should treat them like you outside bulbs and wait
until the green died back and cut it off and plant in the fall or if I
could plant them now. Any suggestions?

Pat



You wait until most of the greenry has died, as the bulb reabsorbs the
energy and stores it for next year. Having said that, often bulbs don't
bloom the 2nd and 3rd year. You just get green shoots.
