Do I need to protect my bulbs from the cold, the shoots are showing already?


Our Advice:

These shoots are remarkably tough and should survive the winter. Protecting them will make them grow more quickly. Provided you planted your bulbs at the correct depth or slightly deeper, they should grow and flower.
