Would it be ok to plant them now ? or is it way too late

I would say it's fine ladybird, I've bought bulbs very cheap in January sales in the past & planted them & they generally come up really well. They might be a bit shorter & a bit later than normal but they should be O.K. It might be easier to plant them in pots though if the ground is very wet or frozen.

I don`t know why I bother grindle I never plant anything on time . I sowed and grew several varieties of wallflower last summer , they are still seedlings in the seed tray and the broad beans and peas I bought from a local supple are still in their plastic bag .
