SE Iowa, zone 5

Last fall we purchased a couple of hundred tulip bulbs simply because
they were on sale at Menards or somewhere similar. As happens many years
we never got around to getting them planted last fall. They are all
still in bags in our shop (about 50 degrees F) and some are starting to
sprout.

Can we save them by doing any of the following?

1.) Simply plant them as is in VERY early spring.
2.) Stick them in our deep freeze until spring and then plant.
3.) Bury them outside under some mulch and then plant in spring.

Anyway suggestions would be welcome.

Cheers,

us

im sorry that ppl have to fight about what is the right way to post rather than answer a valid gardening question for you .
this isnt much information but i think that it might help u some.
if it were me though i would plant the bulbs if u can but if the ground is frozen then i would spread the bulbs out on top of the ground, in a well sheltered location preferably, then i would cover them over with about three inches of mulch . take care, sockiescat .
