Hi there all,
I bought a box of 3 sets of Butterfly Daffodils at our local hardware store, but I live in Zone 5a and, so quite obviously, since it's going to snow tonight, I rather missed the boat in getting them into the ground due to illness problems. The bulbs are still in really good condition, with only a layer or two of dry skin and no sprouting as of yet. My question is this, can I force these bulbs now, and--if that is possible--do I have to go through the cold period of 12-16 weeks as I had read elsewhere? If I can, I'd like to use a wide-mouth vase with glass marbles or similar small glass pearls so that I can have a few of them--since they all have completely differente tri-color blooms--so, if properly seated, will the bulbs force without being a disaster. The reason I don't want to use soil is because I have a cat who enjoys playing in it. Your input is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so very much!
Sincerely,
Thor
