Will bulbs bought but not planted last year still be any good?
Hi, last year I got a bit carried away with Thompson and Morgan's £3 bulbs offer, and bought quite a lot.
As a result, some of them didn't get planted - mainly hyacinth bulbs, some narcissus, and a pack of 5 tulip bulbs that were delivered after everything else.
These have sat in their thick brown paper delivery bag away from light and heat all year.
If I plant them, will they still be any good, or is it a waste of time and compost, I should just ditch them?

I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say.

They have two options, grow or die.I'd plant them now unless you find some are just empty shrivelled shells.The tulips could hang on for a bit depending on the typeIf you're concerned about compost etc just pop them in the ground but remember where you do it [take photo?]Nothing ventured etcWhen an eel bites your bum, that's a Moray0

I had bags of crocus from poundland that were kept badly for 2yrs and they did just fine.
Get planting I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
