Can I plant tulips bulbs now? (April)

[ButterflyWitch]

As the title says really, I did some over zealous shopping for the garden prior to lock down whilst drunk Tulip bulbs have just arrived and it seems they should be planted late Autumn - can I still plant them now or should I wait? What should I do with them in the meantime if I wait?

Anyone?!

I'd say no don't plant til November stick them in a box or newspaper somewhere dark and moderate temperature ie carport or garage and ignore til then

I don't think so, I think they like cool temperatures to grow in. I think you need to store them somewhere dry where they won't go mouldy and rotten

Thank you! No idea why I thought I could plant them now wine. Will hide them in shed and forget about them til Nov
