Is it too late to buy these bulbs and plant them now?

Probably. Definitely if you try to grow them outside. They generally make good houseplants--and can spend the winter inside, but I've always found that they tend to die back and go dormant (not always pretty) even inside. I'd wait until spring to plant the first time. You'll probably be happier with the results. You can also call the vendor for advice on this.

It depends on where you live. If you are south of TN or MO you can plant them anytime. I live in a slightly colder area so I keep mine as house plants in winter. In the summer I divide them. Some go in the garden as annuals (though some come back) and the rest as hanging baskets or porch pots. Anyway you use them, they are wonderful.

Yes and the bulbs cannot be replaced. The lights are supposed to last for 50,000 hours so I don't think you have to worry about bulbs any time soon.

I can't answer that because I don't know where you live. Here in Kansas City area where it gets cold, no. They will freeze and die. I dig up bulbs and just put them in a can in a cool place like the garage. I do put some in pots and grow them as house plants in winter. They are very easy to keep through the winter. I have had some I didn't dig up come back if we had a mild winter, but you never know. steve

As long as the bulbs are not over 35 watts.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

I wish I knew what to tell you. I too planted my bulbs late. They came up and were green but have now gone dormant. I plan to leave them in and expect they will adjust and begin growing in late summer when they shoud. I know that's not much of an answer, but thought I'd let you know my plans. Good luck and let's hope we have some saffron come Christmas!

Do I have to order the bulbs or can I just buy them at my local hardware store?

I have not had to replace the bulbs and haven't looked to see if it is possible.

I'm not a plant expert. I live in Chicago and I am waiting till late April or early May to get a few. I did get some last year and they grew big. They need a lots of room for roots so you will need a really big pot of in the ground. I don't have a place to bring them in for the winter but if you read up on them it says they can endure winter if they are protected. Good luck.

We haven't had to replace our bulb yet, but I imagine any business that handles grow lights would have them or at least be able to order them for you. Be sure you have the dimensions, wattage, etc from the original packaging so you can get the right one. Taking the old bulb along might be helpful also.

Do you have a warm very sunny place to put them if you plant them if so I would go ahead and plant them if not I would wait and place the cuttings in a cool place until spring. I am certainty not an expert on these but, this is what I would do if I had just received them. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I have 3 in bloom right now. I just got a dome light (bought at a pet store meant for reptiles) and make sure they aren't too close to the leaves, but they're a lot cooler than the "basking bulbs" you'll find at the pet store too.

I live in eastern VA, along the coast, and I have mine planted in pots and bring them in for the winter. I would suggest you wait till late APR MAY time to order. They come well packaged and in good condition.

I'm of the opinion that new is better than old. If the bulbs are inexpensive(read cheap) they probably are. I left the lamps in that came with them and will use the old ones if the newer burns out. Upgrade if you desire more brightness.

Don't see why not. However, not sure because I just planted mine in North West Arkansas 4 weeks ago. Instructions mention that they come as late as June and you may not have any the first season. I don't have any yet. I would think June in Arkansas is April in Florida. Order now and plan on next April. We can always hope to be lucky this year.

you should be able to. I leave identical bulbs outside and on 24 hrs per day everyday. They last summer and winter outdoors for years.

Yes you could plant them now or keep them in the fridge until spring. I live in Texas so I will harvest mine soon and leave some in the ground for next year.

We recommend planting them within 1 year so saving them for a few months is no problem! Store them in a cool dry place.
