I'm a novice gardener. I ordered a dozen perennials from Burgess' fall catalogue, expecting fall is when they would arrive. They showed up yesterday - a bunch of bulbs that already had leaves sprouting. Should I send them back? Store in the basement? Plant anyway and if they fail, demand a refund? Any advice would be appreciated. |

Maybe we can better make suggestions if we knew exactly what the bulbs were. |

I would go ahead and plant them now, being sure to plant the sunny ones and the shady ones in the correct location and keep them watered well. That's what I would do. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion. |

That's what I would do, too. |

If you dont plant them then you might as well throw them away,theres nothing else you can do with them. Lots of water. Bill 77 years gardening. |

You must have ordered them as fall perennials to be planted now. The bulbs to plant in the fall for spring flowres are different plants than those. |
