How far south? Alabama and Georgia – you probably don’t have to remove them at all. Oddly enough, daffodils and tulips might need to be removed and put into the fridge to force them into dormancy for the spring – as the climate in the coastal areas isn’t cold enough.

If you’re further north, the best way to store any bulbs is to put them in untreated wood shavings. Mulch works. Put all that into a paper bag and store it in the bottom of the fridge, or in a cool dark corner of the basement.
