Such a strange season its been. I found a dog violet in flower today! Iwouldn't think you can hold your scillas back if they want to go...As a long shot you could buy some more bulbs and plant for next spring? double the pleasure.

My grape hyacinths always start to appear in September but this year there is a proper hyacinth shooting aswell as a couple of blossoms on the wisteria. A strange year indeed but we didn't even have a draught up here. Green grass all year.

I've never grown them, but having just read up about the plant, it seems its usual for foliage to start to appear in late summer - it hangs on as far as possible through winter, until ready to flower in spring. Check the link below - you'll have to scroll down to just under the third photo

It normally sprouts leaves in the fall where I am, and then blooms in February.

thanks for the info. as I said I have never seen them sprout before spring. as for the grape hyacinths , they are well up and that is normal for them.

that's very reassuring thank you.
