Should I have planted my bulbs deeper? A number of my crocus plants

Is this normal or can anyone suggest a reason and/or remedy?
They may be a little drawn from insufficient sun, with
longer-than-normal stems as a result. QED
Also, some crocuses just do that. C. speciosus (an autumn
bloomer) is notorious for not doing well in rough weather.
