Will My Tulip Bulbs Grow Next Year.

Question

Hi I am renovating my garden in the coming weeks ( UK). I have very little time for gardening unfortunately. I am hoping to plant daffodils, tulips , snow etc ( spring flowers) now in the hope they will bloom next spring. I appreciate they might not bloom this year. We will be planting some summer flowers in a small patch and various other plants. I was maybe I could plant the spring ones aswell for them to bloom next spring.

Answer 1

Tulips and daffodils need about three months of cold weather to bloom well. I looked up your weather averages and if you get them planted right away, they may still bloom this year. (Unless the ground is frozen, then you have to wait till its workable.)
