Think I just made a terrible mistake

Posted by romanticdreamer z8 Seattle (My Page) on

Just came from Costco with 3 bags of summer bulbs; Asiatic lilies, hemerocallis, and a bag of assorted bulbs (Daylily, Tigridia and Eryngium). I'm in Seattle in z8 and am now concerned that it is too late to plant them for summer bloom. We haven't had much warm weather here, yet, so am hoping at least I'll get plants this year, if not blooms. Any advice?

I would go ahead and plant them. They would still have enough time to establish good roots before fall. Marg

Costco bulbs are not known for their quality. But given you have purchased them, plant them and water and hope for the best. The strongest will grow and while they may not bloom this year, if they survive next winter, they should bloom and give you what you want.
