Potted Plants Can Bloom Again Don't throw out that potted bulb plant that came last spring. With a little extra care it will bloom again outdoors, says Lou Berninger, University of Wisconsin floriculturist. Keep the pot in a cool location in the basement until fall and then plant the bulbs.

Select a sunny location in a well -drained spot, says Berninger. Plant the bulbs two or three times deeper than their thickness. It might pay to add a little fertilizer. After the ground is frozen, place a light mulch of evergreen boughs or marsh hay about two inches deep over the plants. Remove the mulch next spring when new growth appears.

Berninger points out it may take two years before the plants bloom again, and prizes awarded. A card party, sponsored by the Pell Lake Property Owners association, was held at the club house.
