New addition to my patio
Planted three Seboldiana hostas and all three had begun to leaf out in about 10days. Very pleased since they arrived somewhat dry in a bag bare root.
None have come up yet
Not one has broken ground yet. Meanwhile all my other hosta plants are growing like crazy. Very disappointed in these bulbs.

I live in the hudson valley of New york. The temps are dipping below 32 at night but going up to about 50 during the day. Can I still plant my hosta bulbs? Thanks, MIke
