I have quite a few bulbs that I unearthed this spring and want to move
somewhere else. I asked the rock garden curator at the MO Botanical
garden how to store them for fall planting. She said just to keep them dry
and plant them in the fall. Don't refrigerate them as it might give them
enough of a cold period that the bulbs will try to sprout when planted in
the fall. She keeps them in an otherwise empty flowerpot on her desk. I
am opting for the front porch-free of rain and direct sun and at about the
temp that the bulbs would experience in the ground.
