Container tulips coming up. Problem?

8 years ago

I planted 4 containers of tulip bulbs in late Oct and put them in our garage. I checked the other day and they are beginning to come up. What should I do with them? If I pet them outside will they freeze and die off? Or should I bring them inside and let them grow. They get very little light in the garage?

We can't answer this without knowing what your outdoor temperatures are compared with temps in the garage. Tulips are not fazed by freezing temps but if they have been in a much warmer environment they will need hardening off.

btw there us a Bulbs forum. This isn't really Winter Sowing as such.
