So a few weeks ago I ordered some Asiatic lily bulbs, which I've never grown before.

They look to be in good shape and are starting to sprout. When I looked up how to plant them I learned that they should be planted in the fall. I don't think they can wait that long.

If I plant now, what are my chances of them surviving? I don't expect any flowers this year.

They should be fine. Fall is optimal planting time, but they'll manage. n/t TygrBright May 2021 #1

I'll plant them this weekend. At this point, there's nothing to lose. Arkansas Granny May 2021 #3

Mine (3rd year) haven't bloomed yet. They have tripled (yippee) but no beautiful lillies yet.
