yes its ok, i have just planted some Narcissus today and Hyacinths are still to be planted , waiting for more cold , GOODLUCK. few quick tips : prepare soil with no fertilizer added, water before planting the builb and donot water until 15 days , place the pots in shade, move to sunlight when see the sprout, give light fertilizer every 15 days , dont overwater. bulbs like to be stacked together !

Yes they should sprout in a month at most. I usually put ranunculus corms in moist coco peat first and when they develop roots then i put them in soil.

Renun may also be soaked in water for an hour before sowing, for me it works well and take 15 days to sprout. They can be used next year the same way .
