i wouldnt cut the foliage. again, they need that to store energy for next years blooms. i am pretty new to bulbs, but i dont think they will put on a lot of new growth if you cut them completely back. i may be wrong and maybe someone with more experience that me with bulbs will chime in here. maybe you could give them a little haircut to help them fit into the box. i have been trading quite a few bulbs and i never put them in anything like dirt or leaves. it seems to me that it will only increase the postage and is not really necessary. i just put in a cushion of crumpled newspaper, stack the bulbs, then put more newpaper to cushion and keep them from moving around too much. so far, everyone has gotten their bulbs just fine, with no damage and any other problems. bulbs are tougher than most plants and shipping shouldnt take more than 2 or 3 days by priority mail.
