I'm in zone 5 (West Virginia). I am aware that I will put them in pots and bring them in the winter, but since I have the new bulbs NOW - how should I handle them over the winter?

We're a "do as we say, not as we do bunch," and yes, I haven't ordered my bulbs yet. I missed ordering Autumn Crocuses & am still kicking myself.
