Have you tried looking on the internet or the packet?

When it gets cool. Earlier in Christchurch than Auckland, that's for sure! They enjoy a really cold winter.

Thank you very much for you help. I was not sure if I only planted the daffodils first then the other bulbs at another time. Thank you :)

Oh, and incidentally, DON'T plant the anemones and ranunculus together! Ranunculus hates anemones, and won't grow. Or if they grow, they'll be spindly and feeble.

Hi soak the ranunculus and anemone corms in warm water until they swell a little, before planting. This helps them along especially in dry areas. Don't let them dry out until after their flowering. Good gardening

If they're in the shops to buy then any time from now on I would say. They wouldn't be available if they weren't meant to be planted!

Best to plant after buying in my experience. It prevents that OMG! I forgot to plant you comment when you rediscover the packet in late winter.

Ask the person that you bought them from or phone someone like Hadstock bulb growers (a Chch outfit) + ask their advice
