I think this is one you'll have to just expirament with. I live in Illinois where we get crazy cold winters-I've always just left mine in the ground & they've come up for 3 years now since planting. Bulbs, for me, are somewhat of a "science project" never knowing what to expect. I keep a record in a notebook of what I've planted, when & where. If something doesn't come up, I mark it off the list.

To insure the bulbs survive, you're meant to dig up each fall, save in a funky dry place and replant in Spring. I stay in Michigan too. My lady pal digs hers up each 365 days and has suitable glads interior the summertime. I on the different hand, planted mine against my S dealing with domicile wall, did no longer dig them up or conceal them interior the iciness. They got here returned yet have been spindly and small. at last, the iciness have been given to them.

Sadly you do. I used to dig them up every year. One winter I tried leaving them in the ground. Only 2 out of 40 survived.
Unless you want to consider them a one-time decoration you need to dig them up in freezing climates.

We get freezes that may be in the 20s for nights in a row, and never dig up ours. If you plant them deep enough and mulch them good in the fall, I wouldn't worry about it.

No. We live in Oklahoma and ours stay in the ground all year and do just fine.

yes, if you live in a area where the ground freezes in winter.
