narcissus bulbs - just received - and they're sprouting!

Hello everyone, I've just had a batch of bulbs delivered (by what appears a reputable company) and lots have green sprouts. Is this a bad sign? I think I've read somewhere that you shouldn't buy sprouting bulbs. I know I'm buying a bit late, but I assumed they'd only sell them in perfect planting condition. I'm not sure if I should complain, or just try to get them in quickly and carefully. What do you all think?!

 

Get them in asap Wrenhere, having worked in a garden centre I know that bulbs bought at this time of year are usually sprouting. They should be fine. David.

 

What are you talking about ... our daffodils are already up a couple of inches LOLOL

 

Hi all,

I put in some 'planting parteners' this week and they were already sprouting :eek:

David, i'm trying several variety's of tulips this time round, should they go in early also?

Hi whis4ey :D

 

Paula, I`ve planted tulips for 1 of my clients and they are already through the ground, he will probably be picking them for Christmas :D . So I would say yes, get them in. David.
