Default Planting bulbs

You don't say what sort of bulbs you are planting

Plant spring-flowering bulbs, such as daffodils, crocus and hyacinths,
preferably by the end of September
Plant tulips in November
Plant hardy summer-flowering bulbs, such as lilies, alliums and
crocosmia, in September and October


I have always wondered, but never asked, what happens with big
formal bulb displays. After flowering, when the new bedding is to
be planted, are the bulbs simply lifted and composted, stored for
re-use or what?
