You did everything correctly! They will make it through the 2 inches of mulch very easily. You planted at the correct time...although maybe Late October would have been ideal. You may notice them starting to raise the bark a little as you get into February and March. The plants will do all the work and just push them aside. Try not to disturb it as you might break off the shoots accidentally. Again great job! Do show us some pics when they are emerging and blooming!

By the way, ours started peaking through the mulch a couple weeks ago. We then got 6" of snow on Inauguration Day. Today it got close to 70degrees. The bulbs are used to the roller coaster ride that is late winter/early spring temps. Mine look un-phased. I hope this helped!

I can't believe you were organized enough to make a map of where things are!! In late planting season, esp if it gets cold, I practically throw the last 50 bulbs at the flower bed and hope that's good enough!

I have had tulips and grape muscari get snowed on when they were blooming and they were fine. Allium are very forgiving for me but come up much later. I hope you enjoy the show they give you when they get blooming - you will be hooked.

Thanks so much for your reassurance-- it's great to have experienced gardeners to turn to. I'll try to relax and let the bulbs do their thing :)
