So I got my hands on some flower bulbs which are typically meant to be planted in spring and I was wondering what I could do with them now. To be concrete, I have

  • Dahlia
  • Mirabilis jalapa
  • Ixia

I’m in USDA zone 7b/8a and I could either place them on a south facing balcony or inside. I’ve also read that you can force flowers in a vase with some bulbs such as Hyacinths but I haven’t read anything about that with the ones I have. Or should I just keep them in storage until next spring and plant them then?

    I get impatience. :)

    They may be suitable for forcing. I know that tulips and daffodils can be forced, and my faint memory is that almost any true bulb can be. There are good resources online for how to do it.
