I planted tulips in the fall for the spring and the weather has been warm and they are coming up. what do i do

Answer 1

This depends on where you live. Its January now, and you probably know how much longer your winter should last where you are. Bulbs are very hardy, so don't dig them up or disturb them. Just watch them, and if the weather continues to be warm, tend to them as you normally would. If they continue to grow, and a cold snap comes along, you can place mulch over them to protect the leaves from freezing temperatures. You may want to just transplant some of them to a pot, bring them indoors and enjoy them, as they have been forced into an early growth cycle. After the flowers pass, you can plant them back into your outside garden, bulbs and all, in the spring, let them go back into their natural cycle and see if next winter's weather is normal.
If you have left some outside to weather the weird weather we've been having, and they have survived, you must remember to take away any mulch you have used to protect them as bulbs need to remain planted at a specific depth to ensure optimal growth.
If the weather gets cold again, and the bulbs haven't grown very much, I wouldn't worry too much about them. I've had daffodils sprout much too early where I am (February) during and early thaw and I watched them for a month and a half until April when they started growing again. the green tips somehow managed to winter through the cold snow, ice, and rain of Feb and March !!! Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Leave them alone. Anything you do is likely to cause more damage than good.

We're in the same predicament. Daffodils blooming in January. When a hard freeze is predicted again, I'll cut the flowers and bring them in the house to enjoy.

I'll also cut a branch or 3 of forsythia. I noticed their buds are swelling also.

Answer 3

Nothing. Tulips, crocuses, etc. are used to any weather in Spring. Mine are up and I'm just anticipating the flowers.

Answer 4

The best thing to do is add a heavy layer of mulch to them so that when the weather finally does get cold, the new growth will be damaged less.

Answer 6

depends on where you live really, mine are comming up here already too, we been having a very mild winter but it won't harm them, they are very strong flowers and they can take a little freezing or snow but if you think it might get really cold, put some straw over them to keep them sort of warm, like a blanket.

good luck

Answer 7

If you think that it might get very cold, then cover the new growth with hay or mulch. Outside of that, enjoy your flowers.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
