Only trouble is, frost came sooner than I thought, the containers were frozen solid.
I dug holes for them anyway, the regular soil had only a thin frozen layer.

Now I wonder whether bulbs survive this kind of freezing or whether their cells just burst and thats it.

They were just planted and still dormant/no roots, so I have a little hope.

Thanks for hints,

If you can think of it, please let us know how they fared next spring.

Btw...you can include your location in the one box provided by GW for the zone. See I am 5/6 S INdiana.

After reading your post, I was confused about pots freezing solid in zone 7 here is the US. You could update your profile to 7 Switzerland and it would then be shown whenever you make a post.

So, I reckon if they should flower I probably will be completely over the moon about it and should think to post the results.
Bugger, after 3 nippy days, temps are almost mild again, at least switching from snow to rain.

Well, lets wait and see,

bye, Lin
