I received these bulbs in August while it was still REALLY hot in California. I planted them the week of 100 to 110° weather and kept them well watered... Now that it is September, we are in low to mid-90's. Four weeks after planying, they are all GROWING! I wish I could show a photo. California's climate is super weird and I am so glad I didn't wait to plant. These babies are super healthy. You can find me on IG and see when I post. @1913home
