They might in America because of your weather only if left in the ground but here most people dig them out to replant the following year which prevents them multiplying. I leave mine in even if they dont come back the following years.

yes i leave them in, they seem to be ok, and come back. maybe lose a couple, that were not deep in soil enough, i usually mulch a lot in fall which helps

Yes it stop s the frost drying the ground out mulching . I ve always had gravel stones placed under my Tulip befor planting for drainage.

i stock up buying broken bags from the nursery all summer then use them in the fall

Thats a good idea I shall try this as recently I watched an old garden program here no dig method they just spread mulch over the ground which stops weeds also it does nt distroy the soil structure.
