I've had them before in my garden, but bought them in leaf previously. This year I thought I'd have a go at growing them from scratch. So, I planted four different varieties at the beginning of April, all in individual pots, kept them in the GH, and brought them outside about a week or two ago when it started to warm up, put them in a sheltered spot up against a South facing wall.

Nothing seems to be happening 😕....not a sign of growth, or a snifter of a shoot 😕😕😕
Am I being impatient? Should they still be in the GH...? Or have I bought a bunch of dead looking bulbs/ corms/ roots from Parkers? (They were very weird looking things! Maybe I planted them the wrong way up...?) Any advice appreciated 😁

Actually once they do start they are pretty fast growers as I recall.
	I'll get around to it eventually

They will go like crazy once they do get going, like Sweetpea said.
