Bulbs in containers-what to do now?

For the first time I planted some Anemone, Gladiolus, Four leaf clover,
and Stargazer bulbs in containers this spring and they grew and
flowered very nicely this summer. Now they are dead what should I do
with the foliage and will they come back again next year?

Gladiolus bulbs should be taken out of the soil, dried, soil brushed off,
and stored in a cool part of your cellar in boxes of dry peat moss. Check
monthly for moisture loss. If they seem to be getting soft, lay a barely
damp paper towel on top and cover again with peat moss.
Anemone are hardy in zones 4 to 8. Without knowing where you live, nobody
can answer your question.
Four leaf clover is too general a name to be meaningful. Various plants are
sold with that name, but the plants vary widely in terms of their needs. Got
a latin name?
