bulb question

May 09, 2004 5 Replies

I bought a bunch of bulbs last fall/early winter and unfortunately I ran out of time to plant them before the weather got cold.



I found the bag of bulbs last week in my garage and many of them have began to sprout inside the bag. Should I plant these, or just throw them out? Will they bloom this year, next year, or never?



Thanks Brad


Hi Brad,

When I buy bags of bulbs from Wal-Mart, I always look for the ones that are already sprouting in the bag. I have planted several like that early this Spring, and I am getting beautiful flowers from them already...so I would suggest you go ahead and plant them in the ground now and see what happens:)

Plant...what have you to loose. I found a bag of Gladioli outside a couple of weeks ago left from last spring, some were starting to shoot, so planted the lot(Around 70 corms), yesterday around 30 were already showing shoots above ground.

Have to wait until AFTER the last frost for those too don't ya?

( I am soooo confused.....)
