Will my bulbs and flowers survive tonight's freeze?
It's Spring in Northern Ohio and, after a few warm days last week, your outdoor trees, shrubs and bulbs are starting to show off in a colorful way. Daffodils and tulips are in full bloom for many of you. Your magnolia and flowering cherry trees are covered in a soft pink or white coat of petals. But, arctic air is set to arrive tonight and spoil the pastel party.
Your bulbs should be fine. They are bred for extremes. Your tulips and daffodils should have no trouble surviving a cold night. The general rule of thumb is a moderate freeze is ok for bulbs in bloom as long as temperatures recover to near normal within 48 hours. After a cold, frosty night, the flowers will look a bit singed and may drop a day or two early. If your Magnolia tree is in full bloom, enjoy it while you can. Unfortunately, Magnolia flowers are prone to browning after a bitterly cold night or two. Chances are, you'll notice brown edges on all of your frozen magnolia flowers after a hard freeze.
