Wait for the first killing frost if possible. Or pull them up and let dry in a shed, then remove stalks, dip corms in powdered sulphur or baking soda to repel fungal growth, and store the corms in a cool, dry place, in peat moss or wrapped in paper. Check over the winter, and if they appear shrivelled, sprinkle with some water to rehydrate. Then turn occasionally to offset mould. Or just pitch them and buy new ones next year. They're too much work.

Yes.
i didn't do it last year at this time of year for about three dozen corms. Only one survived the winter. This year I am going to be more careful.
Actually that is what I should be doing now instead of Yahoo

Yes,now before the ground freezes. You can then separate them and store them in a cool, dry place for replanting.
