Planting Instructions for 'In the Green' Rhizomes: The rhizomes should be planted as soon as you receive them. They are best planted where they can be left undisturbed. If the earth is frozen solid, then you’ll need to wait until it is crumbly again. If you do need to wait for a couple of days, sink the rhizomes in some damp compost in a sheltered place until the soil is crumbly again.

Plant the bulbs as soon as possible upon receipt.
