Got some summer flowering oriental lilies and day lilly bulbs cheap online. Any reason I can't plant them now (some have started to grow in the package).

I realize they won't do anything this year but want to get them in the ground before I store them in the garage and lose them!:D

Yes, plant them now. You don't say which type of lilies you purchased, so here's info on the Asiatics and Orientals.

Great. I'll get them in the ground.

They are Stargazers and Baltimore Manor(?) and some other varieties.


Thanks for the links.
