Tiffany, I have to pull mine, and store same in sawdust/shavings over the Winter. Works quite well. Really, the bulbs are so cheap I am not certain if it is worth the effort to pull them or leave them in the ground? As for the bulblets, total waste of time. Cheers! PS. Still worth any effort when the beautiful plants finally emerge, and that's why it is a good idea to stagger the planting of same, rather than all at once.
