They might do -but may not have enough energy to reach full size. give them a bit of compost, and see if they're better next year.

Oh how I miss my Aliums....I had some in my last garden....mine seemed to be at the "about to flower" stage for a while and kept growing up until they did flower at full height, so you might find that they will be fine once they finally burst out!!! **mental note to make sure I plant some bulbs this year**
