I purchased several packages over the years and each time a fill another area with these bulbs they bloom as told. Each year after they bloom maybe not all but say 80% of the bulbs, since I'll put a dozen or more together in one area at a time. They always seem to bloom around Easter because I always have them on hand for flower arrangements for the tables at Easter brunch (one of many big events with my family). Ann Marie So.
