Hi everyone,it’s been a while! 

I recently bought a pack of hosta plants, and when I opened the box for a look I see that they have started to sprout.

should I go ahead and plant them in the pots, or wait until the weather is better? Never having had these before I’m a bit wary of doing the wrong thing.

    Plant them in pots (using some leaf mould in the compost if available) and put them outside in a sheltered spot or coldframe. 
    @Hostafan1 may have other suggestions.

    It'll do no harm potting them up now.
