Hi Bulb People,

After they have flowered and it is coming into Autum, should I be cutting the leaves off and digging up the bulbs?

How do I store them, if I should be doing this?

Alot of the leaves are falling over and I wonder wether to cut them off or not.

This is where your experience could help me.

Thanks,
Debi

They stay in the ground here all year in zone 9a--so in the ground would be OK. I don't cut the leaves off unless they get to looking shabby. The species seem to keep their leaves for me, but most of the hybrids lose theirs.
