What did you do with bulbs you've had indoors?

I've got mostly hyacinths and one amaryllis and a few miniature daffodils

What do you do with them?

I put them in the garage till next early spring.

I usually plant them out in a corner of my front garden and hope for the best.

I stick mine in a sad bit of the garden I reserve for bulbs. If they flower, it’s a bonus. The amaryllis I’ve dried out and left in garage.

Leave them in the pots of soul until all foliage is dead (if I had been organised I'd have fed with baby bio but I don't), this time of year take the bulbs out of the soil and pop in a paper bag or mesh veg bag - label what they are and plant in the garden in October

Don't plant out the amaryllis - feed it as it's dying and put it somewhere dark to rest - in 3 months it will rebloom- feed it and it will go for years

I plant them out when I get around to it, any time from now to late summer. Miniature daffodils if you’re lucky will multiply. Hyacinths have much sparser flower heads, but one you’ve accumulated a few years’ supply, they can look really good.

Amaryllis, carry on feeding it for the summer, let it die down and keep it indoors over winter, start it into growth in spring and it should flower again

Plant them out.

The garden is covered with hyacinths in spring, all from indoor bulbs I've planted out year after year.
