Too Early to Plant?
 

I've just bought from B&Q a couple of those sealed plastic bags with
"crowns" of perennials inside that you're supposed to soak in water before
planting. One is Rudebeckia and the other is Zantedeschia.

Can I plant these outside now or should I wait until about April?

Thanks

Wait or put them in pots and keep them frost free until you can plant
them out.

Best to pot them up now and keep them in a cool but frost free place, then
plant them later. If the Zantedeschia gets it's roots frosted it's dead.
