Just had a delivery of various Calla Lily bulbs, Arum Halcum, Canna Durban, Kniphofia Uvaria and some Gladiolus Price Orange. Apart from the Gladioli and Kniphofia I want to plant them in containers.
I have been told it is too early to plant now as it is still cold and wet so is it OK to store them in the house in the box they arrive in for another few weeks or should I plant some or all of them out now in the containers and the gladioli in soil or store them somewhere else? Thanks

They'd be better in some compost rather than a box.
I tipped out my pot of callas that had been kept in the greenhouse overwinter, they were so fat they bent the pot out of shape. I've potted them up in single pots to grow on and will put them together in a bigger planter outside when the weather warms up.
