    Last September / October time I got 2 bags of Tete-a-Tete daffodil bulbs, but due to problems in the garden I was unable to plant them as I planned. I was going to keep them until this back end, but reading another thread on here it says it's unusual for bulbs to survive that long without soil.

    Should I just plant them out now into pots (I know it's late) but just so they are in soil or is there a better way of storing them?

    I want to eventually plant them in the garden once it's ready for planting.

    Toni I would plant them now in pots or tubs and put them outside, the reason for planting daffodil bulbs in the autumn is that daffodils and narcissi need about 12 or 13 weeks of cold weather, from 3 to 9 degrees Celsius to reset them for blooming so there's a good chance you will get something out of them this year,when you have sorted your garden take the whole lot out and plant them out.
