how do i put off the blooming of my bulbs i have not planted yet i live in zone 7

Doug says - if I understand you correctly, you haven't planted them. And you want to know how to stop them from blooming until Late April.

The real answer is to keep them cool. That will stop them from growing. Plant them and keep them too cold to bloom. Tough to do in Georgia

If you are growing them in the ground - no trick that I know of is going to make that happen.

If you're growing them in containers, then they should be planted in so they can develop roots and then be kept cold. If you let them sit on a shelf, the likelihood is that they'll dry out and die.

So other than a rather large cooler to hold the pots, (which is what commercial growers do) I have no suggestions for you that will work for you. Sorry
