When the leaves yellow, dig up the bulbs, clip the plant back to the base of the bulb, brush off the soil and set the bulbs in a cool, dry place to dry out. The bulbs store best in a netted bag placed in a dark, well-ventilated place at 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tough Spring Bulbs. Hardy spring bulbs such as tulips and daffodils survive frozen ground where air temperatures dip to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Some other bulb plants even bloom through snow, leading the way in spring. Provided they are not in bloom, tulips and daffodils are tough enough to survive a few nights of light frost. A coating of snow may weight them down or break their emerging stems, but won't kill the bulbs.
