freezing weather and spring flowers...

Hi,

Hope you're all well.

W have had minus 4 here last night in Leeds and it looks like it's continuing for the rest of April (joy!). Will this affect Tulips, Alliums and hyacinth blooms and foliage?

Cheers

 

All those early bloomers don't care. They are used to late frosts and unless the weather drops below -10°C they will just cease growth until it gets warmer.

Some bulbs already came through in December and they have grown even after being frozen for a week in -15°C.

 

oh good! That's a relief! I read somewhere that Tulips get affected by -2. Thanks.

 

Plants , bulbs can be more resilient than we think they are they may leven look dead then hey presto they growing so dont worry
i had a climber at the back of garden it seemed it was killed by winter frost it looked dead and withered but to my surprise 2 weeks ago its got new shoots coming

 

Thank you. They've all been fine and dandy and it's still minus 2 at night here .
