Ah, why not just keep them in a pot, in a cool place in the basement or something like that? But, as for your idea - I don't see why not. ______________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you want to receive my plant newsletters via email? santoury@aol.com The Silent Seed - Rare and Unusual Plants ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: C3fnn <C3fnn@aol.com> To: pbs <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Wed, Dec 7, 2011 9:43 am Subject: Re: [pbs] wintering-over Spring bulbs in pots The bulbs are for another location which is currently too wet and snow is expected.

Does anyone have experience potting-up such bulbs (Pro-Mix) and then sinking them into the ground so the bulbs are at the proper depth and covered so as to avoid freezing and thawing? I plan to dig the pots out in the Spring and plant the bulbs in the gardens. This idea suggested by a reputable local bulb wholesaler. I appreciate any experienced advice!
