What's better: move bulbs or store them until autumn?

hi, i would like to move some crocus and tulip bulbs. the leaves have now pretty much died. will they grow if i take them out and move them to another spot? i would prefer this to storing them over the summer as this method seems pretty complicated. thanks for your advice!

Move them, they'll sit doing nothing much for a while, but will extend their roots for next year. Give them a week after the leaves brown off before digging, if you can.
Reply:You can move them if you want to, but make sure the leaves have completely died off before doing so.



If you decide to leave them where they are, they will naturalise and next year you will have more flowers.



Hope this helps.
Reply:You can leave crocus, tulip, and daffodil bulbs in year-round. I've had mine in the ground through Indiana winters since 2003 and they're still coming up well.
