Have just found a load of allium bulbs in the garage that I bought in the
Autumn and completely forgot about. Any point in planting them now? Would
prefer them to be in pots if possible.

thanks for any advice

Worth trying, I would have thought. They may not flower this year (I
had some that were 'blind' the first year after a late planting), but
should recover in time for next year, *provided* they're not mouldy or
too soft.

They stand a better chance planted than not planted so give them a go.
They may flower late or not until next year but they certainly won't in
the garage in a bag!

Planted them today so at least there in compost rather than a cardboard box!
