Is there any point in planting these?

Bought this gladioli sunset mix on 3rd Feb, then saw it had a planting window starting March plus we had snowmageddon. Then I saw it says plant as soon as possible after purchase. Are the bulbs useless now? Or shall I plant them tomorrow? Thanks.

Just plant them, they’ll be fine

They should be fine, I planted mine yesterday.

Did a similar thing last year, and planted them very late! They gave me a lovely display 🙂
Get them in the ground, may as well try!

I have a habit of planting any bulbs I buy at least a month after purchase... don't worry, they'll be fine! (Caveat, if you leave them ages and ages they'll go squishy/mouldy, but I'd expect your bulbs to be fine at this point. They usually hang around on shelves for ages...).

They should be fine. It’s a bit early to plant gladioli imo.

I have exactly same pack and put them in yesterday !

@BlueSoop I also agree but put them in.I’m sure years ago things didn’t go in till end of March to April Hmm
