When should I plant the Nerine bulbs I have just received?

Our Advice:

Keep them in a cool, frost-free place and plant them out in the garden in mid-spring. To grow and flower well they need a well drained soil and a warm, sunny location, where possible provide them with a sheltered position. Avoid planting these bulbs too deeply, the 'nose' of the bulb should be just visible after planting.
