I got some bulbs of daffodils already blooming. When do I plant them? I live in Canada?

We have had more snow, but not alot. Most of our snow is melting.

I got some bulbs of daffodils already blooming. When do I plant them? I live in Canada?
plant bulbs in the early fall, some tips:





Select a sunny planting location.


Prepare the soil, if necessary, by incorporating ample organic matter. Soil preparation is not always necessary if drainage is good. Dig holes 3 to 6 inches deep. Plant larger bulbs at the deeper end of the range. Leave 2 to 4 inches between bulbs. Add bulb fertilizer to the bottom of the hole, and roughly mix it into the soil. Place the daffodil bulb in the hole, pointed side up, root side down. The bottom of the bulb should rest firmly on the bottom of the hole. Water the bulbs thoroughly
Reply:If they are out of the ground and blooming, put them in a container with some potting soil until the ground is workable. Then, you can plant them. At this point, it doesn't matter about the bloom, just get them in the ground when you can. Add a nice dose of fertilizer when you do. The daffs will thank you.
