The bulbs need to be kept at 35 to 45 degrees F. for the entire cooling period of 16 to 18 weeks. If you live where outdoor winter temperatures rarely get below 25 degrees F, just keep the pots of bulbs moist and store them right in the garden beneath a layer of straw.
The bulbs go into a dormant period about 6 to 8 weeks after blooming and this is the ideal time to dig. Basically, you need to wait until the foliage has died back before digging. Until the foliage turns yellow and dries up it is working to send nutrients back to the bulb to help form next years flower.
