Freesia sprouting
My freesia I left in the ground have started sprouting already. Should I plant my stored bulbs now then?

Re: Freesia sprouting
I would wait for another fortnight. In my experience regarding planting bulbs (already in ground is different thing) late is better than early. Early planted bulbs grow foliage easily but do not bloom as per expectation. BTW the freesias in my pot on terrace also sprout in september.aykhan wrote:My freesia I left in the ground have started sprouting already. Should I plant my stored bulbs now then?

Re: Freesia sprouting
Lahore is still hot for bulbs, Nov 15 normally my date of planting bulbs when i was in Lahore. Hycinths, Muscari, in December. Khabbab is right plants will develop foilage and will not bloom healthy.
