gift tulip plants

How do I handle the bulbs of my gift tulips. It is now April and they won't be planted till fall. Do I leave them in the pot (Iremoved the flowers) and take the bulbs out just before planting or do I dry them?


Doug says there's a ton of info on handling potted tulips on this page. Lots of articles (depending on what you need to know) and a ton of questions already asked about the details. I hope it's helpful.
