Plant them as soon as poss: they should perform, but may need a year or
two to regain what they've lost in storage, so they may very well not
flower this year, or even next. You may prefer just to compost them and
buy fat new ones later on. Certainly best to chuck out any which look
unhealthy -- squdgy or mouldy.
