The grape Hyacinths are growing quickly in the past months. From seeing the first growth sign up to now, I reckon this kind of grass-like plants have reached their full length (10-15cm, according to the pack instruction).

They look like garlic leaves, with green and clean shape of several long leaves divided from the bottom of one stem. It actually looks quite good for a winter garden at this stage, but I am really confused because I thought they are spring bulbs.

If they have this look already in the late of autumn and early of winter, aren’t they going to flower at the latest in the mid winter?

Can these leaves survive the winter coldness? Would they die? Lots of questions….. Sometimes I feel like an idiot in regards to many aspects of gardening. My problem is I care too much as I don’t know how to care due to lack of knowledge and experience. That’s me :-)
