slk59 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Is it too early to rake the mulch off of my tulip/daffodil bed? (I'm in DuBois) I mulched with leaves/straw last fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Go ahead and rake. The tips of the bulbs will survive now no matter what the weather brings. They are mostly freeze and frost proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slk59 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thank you Lavender! My bulbs bloomed so well last year I didn't want to screw em up this year. The crocus bulbs I planted last fall are already up and blooming . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Unfortunately if we do get bad weather it will ruin the flowers. The snow gets my crocuses almost every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Mulch or not makes little difference to spring bulbs if they are planted deep enough in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
