Spring bulbs coming up already

19 years ago

Hello! I live in central PA. We've had a very mild Dec. and my daffodils & tulips are sprouting. Some are up 4" already. My question after winter finally shows up here will the flowers come back in spring or if they won't re-bloom will the bulbs be a total loss and not come back the following spring? Thanks for any help!

The daffs should be fine, not to worry. A little bit of green always comes up during the January thaw, they'll bloom normally in the spring.

My daffs are coming up too. Never noticed this before. But, I never went outside to look either. It's just been so mild, that I've been out more. Thanks, pipersville carol, now I know not to worry....I bought some very beautiful daffs last fall.

My snowdrops and witch hazel are in full bloom. It's normal for the witch hazel, but really early for the snowdrops.
