Yes, the tulips will survive. The unseasonable warmth has made a lot of bulbs move, but they should shut down now that it is cold. I would put some leaf mulch or some potting soil around the green tips to help prevent scorch.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I added some potting soil on top as you suggested. Not too many popped up so that's a good thing!

It was 52F last night at 8:40 pm and this morning a balmy 57!! Weird weather for January 30th. Thunder showers expected. It was nice to see the snow disappear.

patches, I've found tulips remarkably tolerant of temp variation in spring. I'm only a bit colder than you, here in Hamilton, & mine are in the ground, but they've taken a lot of abuse and come through like champs.

Thanks Freki...that's good to know. I also had a friend who gardens up in Orillia who told me the same thing. She says the biggest threat to her tulip bed is squirrels!
