I really did only some in clumps. Especially ones I really didn't want to chance losing. Mostly they did okay. As did the tubers but I suffered more dessication than usual. Course I didn't put anything in the grocery bags to prevent it. And still had some rot. But I have lots of sprouting tubers and may multiples so I can't complain. Better than having to buy all new, however much fun that would be to have all new flowers.
I don't know what I will do this fall. Depends on how I am feeling and what the weather is like. I do know that I will let them stay in the ground at least two weeks after frost has killed the tops. The danger is if the roots/tubers are too close to the surface and the weather gets so cold as to freeze the tubers. Guess I could mulch them just in case. Yuk. Here I am planning for storage and I hardly have mine out of last year's storage.
