Fall Planted Relocated Tulips Starting To Grow In December Zone 6

Question

I relocated tulip bulbs this fall, I am zone 6. While outside doing leaves I noticed tulip leaves peeking up from the new plantings. We haven’t had steady winter weather yet what is going to happen to the tulips ? Will they stop growing AND more importantly will they bloom in spring. And hey while I’m writing — all my grape hyacinths always start growing in late summer, leaves stay green all winter then they grow again in early spring and bloom. Nothing I’ve ever read mentions this.

Answer 1

You need to get those bulbs deeper into the ground for winter.

This article does say grape hyacinths send their leaves up in the fall.
