Crystal ball-latest date to plant spring bulbs

[Anonymous]

I’ve gotten half of the bulbs that I bought into the ground. Any guesses as to how long I have to get the rest in?

I have a sunny yard for the first time and went a bit crazy buying bulbs…but I’m too tired to move now.

You have months in this area. Anytime between now and Christmas, really.

There’s no frost predicted for at least the next 10 days.

I planted in February once with great success.

As long as you can dig it’s fine for most of them. Certainly daffodils you can plant in January unless it’s unusually frozen.

About 15 or so years ago, we had a warm spell the last week of December and I planted a big bag of bulbs. Lots of them are still coming up every spring to this day. You should be fine.

I haven't even begun planting my bulbs.

Personally, I think it's a bit early to plant because the 60 degree afternoons are going to confuse the bulbs into sprouting. Last year, I planted in December when I knew we were done with the warm weather but the ground still hadn't frozen hard.

You have awhile. I've read to prioritize planting daffodils and delay planting tulips.

My tradition is to plant the weekend after Thanksgiving, though one year I didn’t get to it until after Christmas. All fine.

Agree with PP: daffodils asap - tulips as late as December. I’ve thrown some in as late as January but it’s not a great plan.
