These are planted in the garden in mid May and dug and put in the basement in mid to late Oct. Some are stored bare root, if they were in the ground. If in a pot stored in the pot. I have third year sometimes second year plants that bloom, always the one's in the ground. Here's a pic of last years dig, 4 of these are the one's that bloomed this year.
