My daffodils, hyacinths, etc. all froze last night-is there anyway that they can be saved? What can I do?

Question

I have sheets covering them now (it's all I had to work with!) but will this help at all? The cold temperatures and snow are expected to last for another 3-4 days!

Answer 1

I'd keep them covered until the freeze passes. Unfortunatly, you probably will have a shortage of blooms this year but they will definatly come back next year. Resist the temptation to cut back the blossoms and leaves...let them get sunshine all season so they can get strong enough to bloom next year.

And finally, come fall, work some bulb food in the soil around them. Good luck!

Answer 2

In Northwest PA this happens all the time. Temps will warm up and these things bloom only t get covered in snow. Nothing you can do. Just leave the bulbs in the ground for next year.

Answer 3

They'll be fine. Even if the cold does in the flowers, the bulbs will be just fine and will flower next year.

Answer 4

There is absolutely nothing you can do if they have already experienced temps below 32. If they haven't, then they might survive on their own if you keep them covered. Whatever you do, you have a better chance if you keep em covered.

Answer 5

The bulbs would be advantageous yet your blooms would be lacking this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. bypass away interior the floor and watch your warnings and canopy until eventually now if there's a scare. Sheets are the wonderful to apply for retaining away the frost--you will continuously lose some yet some will proceed to exist. It happens--I lost my finished veggie backyard as quickly as on June 10th.

Answer 6

no.. sorry. cut the flowers off and leave the leaves. the bulbs need them to regenerate the bulbs. all you can do is to look forward to next year.. :-(
