Yes plant them, if they sprout they will flower next year if not this. You did not say which variety it will make a difference, but they are better in than out. I planted a dozen a month ago - seven have come up but I am hoping to see the others next year
Hey there, @ZeroZero1 ... I planted them and most came up, some have already flowered (Muscatel, I think). Hopefully they'll all be fine next year, too...
Good news for you. FYI I planted some Giant Lilly bulbs about seven years ago in two places in my garden - both in shade. One site between a tall hedge and a rhododredron and the other site under a tall buddleia. Both are still there. The lilys in the first site are now 8ft tall (!) in flower, heavily scented and are always reliable, but the ones in the second site are only 3ft tall, they did get a bit overpowered earlier - but still ... that's gardening, that's life
These are my lilies that I have grown for over 3 years now. They are grown in pots, I do not protect them in the winter, I just add fresh compost in the spring and they always come back.
