They look so pretty, I hate to leave them for winter kill. I overwintered them once before -10 yrs ago, but forgot how I did it. Do I pot them & put in sunny window or store in basement? Store I hope!
Right now I have Easter lily & hyacynth in fridge crisper to flower this winter & spring, & my amaryllis (4th yr) is ready to go in dry peat in basement (to sleep) for a Dec/January bloom. It'll be nice to have these bloom again next summer. Thanks!

if there the type with a tuber i pull them up snip the tops off let them dry for a week of so then place in a brown paper bag and store in cool dry place untill spring then i replant you can store them in clean dry wood shavings if you like that better i never bother with that thoue
