View Full Version : Too Late for Bulbs?

I bought some bulbs back in October and they have been in my fridge ever since. We do not have gutters on our home (until next week) and my one attempt at planting anything ended up being quite a soggy mess!

Once the gutters are in place next week, is it too late to plant my tulip bulbs??

I live in NE NC, zone 8.

Thank you in advance!

Try planting them in a container to get them going, inside. Once they appear, replant them outside and you'll still be in time for spring!

"Once they appear..." meaning once they start peeking out at all, then plant outside? Sounds good! Thank you!

I once waited until February (I believe) to plant some daffodils in Athens GA (zone 7). Everything was fine.
