Default Re: transplant idea question

I have over wintered a bunch of different varieties bare rooted in burlap bags in my heated gagage with great success. I have also had good success leaving them in the ground. Bare rooting is good for larger plants. Stems of three feet or more is preferred. Leaving them in the ground is a little more tricky. Protecting from freezing is not the biggest problem. Keep the corm reasonably dry is difficult. This is just my experience. Your weather definitely presents a big challenge. If you want more discussion send PM.
