Tulips are surprisingly hardy. We've had warm spells in January and February when the plants start peeking up from the ground. But then we get hard, freezing weather and I often wonder if the tulips and daffodils will survive. Yes, they do!! My only difficulty is keeping the squirrels and mice from eating the bulbs. Have had to plant them in "bulb saucers" and/or line the planting areas with gravel to keep the critters out!!
