I got the question... "Should I cover my tulips?" This was a timely question just as the winter snow storm
warning was bearing down on us yesterday. The spring weather has been
unpredictable giving us some warm days mixed with spring snowfalls that
remind us that mother nature isn't ready to jump into spring just yet.
With the few warm days we have had, it's been just enough to have some
tulips pop through the soil. So...
...the answer is "YES"
Even though tulips are fairly adapted to the cold weather in zone 4, cover the emerged growth before the snow hits to ensure the tender tips don't get damaged. Covering with a layer of mulch works, or even a turned over bucket can ward off frost damage.
