Storage Information The bulbs should be dug before the first frost. Time permitting, the leaves should be allowed to dry up and fall off naturally. This allows the nutrients to be absorbed by the bulb. The leaves may also be removed by cutting them off close to the bulb, being careful not to cut into the bulb. Any cuts or tears into the bulb increase the chance of fungus/rot during storage. Ideally, the bulbs should be stored in flats in an area that is going to stay at 70 degrees or warmer with good ventilation. If space is limited, the bulbs may be placed in mesh bags with peat moss as a separator. Check bulbs periodically for softness or rot and discard. Bulbs can be replanted in the spring.
