This fall I will not be potting them; I want to store the corm for the winter. I don't have a 'cold' room, even my basement is warm with the furnace heat. What recommendations for storage are there..bare, in a bag of peat, etc.? I will also be doing the bare root thing for all my non-hardy bananas except the DC will stay potted. Thanks for everyone's help.
Howard, how about the fridge? I have a dry Easter lily bulb in peat, in my crisper & will plant it again in Feb. Shouldn't that just put them to sleep?
