Crocus and bluebell questions

9 years ago

Someone gave these to my wife the other day. It's 3 packs of bulbs (stripped squill, heavenly bluebell, snow bunch crocus). It says on the outside to plant in the fall. Think it's worth putting them in the ground now? If I wait until next fall the bulbs will be have been sitting in the bag for a year. Will they be worthless then? I've attached a photo of the bag. Thanks

Yes, better plant sooner than to wait :-) They won't do much this year - maybe produce some foliage - but they will be fine next year and won't keep out of the ground indefinitely.

Snow Bunting crocus perhaps? I've not heard of 'heavenly' bluebell.
