Yesterday I received a shipment of snowdrops in the green. I know snowdrops
need to be planted immediately and not allowed to dry out.

The area where I want to plant the snowdrops already has spring bulbs which
are either in bloom or soon will be, so I can't plant the snowdrops there
without disturbing these other spring bulbs.

My question is, can I plant the snowdrops into containers for a month or
two, and then replant them into their permanent place in the border?

Thanks.
