About a month ago, I bought a bunch of clearanced bulbs from Wal-mart and Home Depot. Just now getting around to planting the last of them. Noticed the Blackout Lily bulbs are already sprouting in the bag! Some of the sprouts are 2-3 inches long! How should I proceed? Plant them normally and entirely under 4-6" of soil like the directions say? Or should I plant them with the sprouts above the ground as if they've just grown? If I plant them like normal, will the sprouts still find their way out? And if I plant them above soil as if they've just sprouted... will the green up? Cause they're currently a pinkish white! Please forgive me as I'm a newbie and am super confused! I just want to do what's right so they'll hopefully have a good chance at growing! I'm really looking forward to these! =-)
