How do I store tulip bulbs over the summer?

Our Advice:

After the foliage has died back, dig up the tulip bulbs and gently brush off any dirt or debris. Store the bulbs in a cool, dry location with good air circulation, like a mesh bag or cardboard box. Avoid storing the bulbs in plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and lead to fungal growth.
