So far, I am impressed! I planted these immediately upon arrival. They took a while to "sprout", but they are doing just fine. I planted them in a raised bed and I have a video on You Tube showing when I planted them. You can check it out at Rainbow Gardens, titled: Yay! My bulbs arrived in the mail
