I planted some 3 wks ago and they are up and growing on strongly - the

They will grow using stored energy but will have limited root structure,
long term viability might be compromised - autumn planting allows root
development

Like everyone has said autumn planting is best,but you have nothing to lose
if you have the bulbs now.They are better off in than out!

I agree but that advice only holds if you remember you bought them before
