Hi everyone,

Bulbs i received

1. Day Lily’s
2. Golden Spider Lily ( Lycoris Aurea )
3. Lutea
4. Nerine White
5. Nerine Rosea

A Couple Questions

1. Can i plant all of these now?
2. If i was to plant them in pots, what size pots and how many per pot

There should be info on the packets themselves as to when to plant them. Some have to be ‘cooled’ first by popping them in the fridge crisper for a few weeks clearly labelled because they are poisionus. If no info came with them , then google is ya friend :)
