Ok #Flower #Gardeners, I have some mixed Crocus bulbs that are still "fresh" but have been in the fridge staying cold for a few months. What are the odds if I put them in the some pots they will bloom this year? #Blooms #GardeningMastodon #Garden #Gardening Any advise?

No clue on likeliness. A family member in Upstate NY does this successfully, She was a caterer, with a vast root cellar, multiple fridges, and a big yard.

@pitd Too true, tToo True. We decided to get them cold before planting since they didn't get in the ground in the fall. If there is a chance they will bloom this season, we'd like to put them in container pots until fall. If not, we'll go ahead and plant them in their intended place.

@paul If they don't bloom in the pots this year you can grow them on and put them in the ground in the fall and maybe get some blooms next year
