I've received via mail order snowdrops that are in bud. I had expected plants ' in the green' after flowering. Will these still be ok? Presumably need to be planted ASAP.
What a lovely surprise. You'll get the pleasure of them straightaway. They will be fine as long as you don't let them dry out so yes it would be a good idea to plant them asap remembering not to plant them in a dry position as they like moisture.
Yep they're from a big nursery and packed with soil and roots. I had intended to plant with volunteers next Saturday. Hoping if I keep them moist they'll be ok

But with mail order, expect the unexpected. If they don't flower well this year, ask for your money back. Were they from a well-known source?
