I just stuck the daffodils in the fridge (along with the tulips) to wait for planting time because I got them pretty early. I'm reading now that this was not good for them -- that they will bloom too early on short stems because they think winter is over. ( or some such daffodil reasoning)

Does anyone have any experience with this? Did your refrigerated daffodils and narcissus perform really badly? If so, is there any way to mitigate the damage -- such as planting them later than normal?

Any advice will be so appreciated.
