September bulbs – Early rising
Q: I planted bulbs in September and they are coming up already: way too early! Should I be concerned about this?
A: The bulbs won’t be hurt at all; they will flower normally in spring. Early emergence does use resources the bulb ought to have in spring so make a note to plant bulbs in late October in the future.
