Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do at this point to protect that foliage. Either way, the leaves which have sprouted will most likely dieback with the cold weather that is certain to still come. Placing a tarp over the growth is actually not recommended unless there are actual <strong>flower buds</strong> appearing. The problem with unnecessarily covering the plants is that it will trap the warmth which caused the bulbs to sprout in the first place. This will result in even MORE growth. Therefore, I encourage you to leave the foliage be unless it begins to produce flower buds. Hope this helps! and thanks for reading! Bridget Hi there!

This weather, I believe, has caused my daffodils, crocuses, and hyacinths to start to grow, and winter hasn't even started! Will they still grow in the spring? What do I need to do in order to save them? it’s early November, and it’s warm enough out to be in the garden with only a t-shirt on.
