Hi just wondered if anyone can help with some advice on bulbs. We recently planted tulips, daffodil and bluebell bulbs and I noticed yesterday the daffodils are starting to appear already which I guess is due to the mild weather we have been having. What I would like to know is what happens to them when the weather decides to start turning colder.

Any help is appreciated

They will get colder themselves, stop growing then start again when
they warm up a bit.

I don't know about tulips, daffs and bluebells, but my irises are always up
by mid-November - often seeming to appear overnight! - and then they sit
there and don't do anything until Feb. I think plants that flower in spring
are generally well equipped to cope with the sudden onset of cold, even when
it's a bit 'unusual'.

No, it's normal, nothing to do with the mild weather. The leaves always start appearing this time of year. Nothing to worry about.

But do worry if the tulip and bluebell leaves start to appear!

Thanks for the all the advice and setting my mind at rest, its our first year of planting bulbs so i was starting to panic a bit.

The bluebells are coming up! There's some under the hedge I noticed
yesterday about 1-2cm up so far!

It's hailing and windy and rainy and nasty.

Oh well, obviously the OP doesn't need to worry about his bluebell bulbs either! They clearly come up this side of Christmas too.

I think normally they're after the start of January but I'd have to
look through hundreds of photos to see if I have any of them coming
up.
