Problem with crocus

elbereth
15 years ago

I was forcing the crocus 'Pickwick' for this spring outside on the balcony. They were planted 2 to 3 inches deep, above my tulip bulbs in big pots. Only one bulb flowered this spring, and the rest just sent up leaves that died very soon. When I inspected them I found that none of them had a lot of roots, but I don't think it was because they weren't chilled long enough - the tulips had plenty of roots. The soil may have been too heavy for them. I discarded the rotten bulbs and cleaned the rest. What should I do with them now? Should I replant them or store them for the winter? And what should I do with the little bulblets that grew around the bigger bulbs? Any help would be appreciated.
