I bought some crocus bulbs today that were on the clearance rack at Lowe's. I figured at 10 cents a package I had nothing to lose. Some of the bulbs have begun to sprout and I'm 2-3 weeks behind according to the planting schedule. Is there any chance for these bulbs? Thanks!

plant them right away. Crocus can take some problems like this in their stride.

get them in now so their roots can grow. the cold should hold back any top growth. I planted some just last weekend.

remember to plant them 3 times their height deep. just push them into the soil with your finger but dont cover the little hole. this is because the top growth has started and wouldn't be able to get out. fill in the holes when the leaves reach the surface.
