i have purchased, gladiolus, iris,peony,bloodroot(sanguinera),ixia,sparaxis...bulbs...it's march 30 th..calgary...how do i keep/start?....these bulbs indoors until the ground thaws?


Doug says "cool and dry" - put them in the crisper of the frig and when the ground thaws - plant them immediately. Let them grow in the ground.

p.s. many of these aren't bulbs - but herbaceous perennials - and treat them the same way. Wherever you bought them - you got them way too early - but it depends on when your ground thaws.
