I just bought a packet of dahlia, lily, and gladiolus bulbs. It is now almost June and?
Fedora girl asked:
…and I am in zone 7B. The temps are well into the 80s. Can I still plant these bulbs or should I wait for the fall or even next spring? Will they be fine in their original boxes or do I need to do something?
I’d appreciate any advice.

I would plant them. They may not bloom this year, but if you wait too long, they could dry out and die.

Yep, just plant them now. Where I live you normally can’t plant any of those until June 1 or so, and we get blooms fine. After you have planted yours you won’t even have to lift them, zone 7b will allow all of those to be perennials.

Just plant them. Gladiolus takes at least 8 weeks to flower. For the rest, if it doesnt bloom this year it may do so next year.

Plant them because if you hold them over they may dry up and you wasted your effort.
