: : I just moved up to Alaska (11 miles south of Fairbanks). I planted some tulips, Hyacinth, and dwarf daffodils in the fall. Put a bunch of mulch over them. Now it is starting to warm up during the days here. Mid 30's most of the time, but still gets down to 10 or lower at night. I just noticed that where the snow has melted away along side the house the tips are poking through the mulch. I was wondering if I need to get the rest of the snow off of them or purchase some added mulch to cover them up till it is warmer outside at night?
RACHEL: Good for you!! No, do nothing, they can take the cold. They will do just fine.
>>Thanks for the info. Hope they turn out ok. Weather is a little different here than NE.
