Here's the thing, like other bulbs they go in the ground in the fall. I shoot for early Nov. Don't plant the whole bulb, you'll want to split it into individual cloves and plant those ~ 9 inches apart. If it's sprouting now it won't make it until Nov. Find yourself a hardneck variety somewhere local (craigslist) and start with that. I've had these for years. |

You're saying that these will die and rot, and not set themselves right over the fall and winter? Yes, once they sprout they're are trying to grow. They'll rot shortly. |
