Probably grown in a greenhouse environment and have not received the amount of sunlight necessary and very likely excess fertilizer. This has made them leggy and somewhat etiolated. The cellophane probably didn't help much either :-) They wont regain any sort of upright stance this season but if you plant them out in your garden - and yes, the planted bulbs DO prefer sun - they should have a normal upright appearance next year.

gardengal48: Thank you! I will keep them in the sun. They are currently planted in the planter pot shown in the photo; do you think they'll do ok there, or should I put them in the ground? I did find out that they were, indeed, grown in a greenhouse.

This topic is a bit old, but I have the exact same problem with my muscari, except that I have them indoors. They were so happy and upright at the beginning and now they're all droopy and sad. At first I thought it was because I bought them in this cute container which has no holes, so I was unsure about how much to water them, but now I feel like maybe this (greenhouse growth and too much fertilizer) could be the actual problem. Should I wait for all the foliage to be dead and then repot them - this time in a more normal planter? Or should I repot them right away?

I'd plant them out in the garden as soon as the flowers are finished.
