Was looking for care for forced Christmas bulbs. Heh.

If you have an opportunity like this in the future, bring the pots of stargazers home and plant the bulbs. They will do fine the following year and are very hardy - whether star gazer, star fighter or Casa Blanca white oriental. Blooming in the pot is not considered forcing like a hyacinth or amarylis at Christmas. It does not wear out the bulb.

Crocosmia - let die back. Lift. Store inside. Plant next year. They would likely be problematic in the ground in your zone unless highly mulched.
