This is a really newbie question!

I bought some agapanthus bulbs a few days ago. I opened them yesterday and I see that a couple have sprouted, one about 1" and another about 2"-3". Here's my newbie question... do I plant the bulbs leaving the sprouting part of the bulb above the ground or below. I'm guessing that they should go above ground.

If your view is that sprouting bulbs won't succeed, please let me know!

Thank you for your help in advance.
