Tips for Storing Flowering Bulbs:

Crocus

Most bulbs can be stored
Check every few weeks and remove any which are rotting
Clean off soil and remove foliage/roots
Ensure bulbs are clean and dry, dust with fungicide
Place in paper bag and label
Keep cool and dry

*"In the Green": Plants are lifted just after flowering with the leaves still intact. Ensure they never dry out. Plant back at their original depth. The papery sheath around the bulb should just be visible.
