Post #6036866

I bought 2 bags of 12 tulip bulbs each (in good condition), and several bags of 2 Iris rhizomes each from Walmart today & all were on clearance: $ 1.00 each bag. The tulip bulbs are plump & trying to start. I think I can just put them in an onion bag & put in the refrig but what about the iris rhizomes. They are dry but still have green leaves. Can I just soak them in water for an hour or so, dry them off and put in onion bags in the refrig? Any help you can give would be appreciated. I live in z6 so I won't be planting them outdoors until April or May. Thanks in advance for the help.
