Question about fall bulbs

[Chris]

Next Spring, they'll come up looking a little like asparagus. But they're also very strong. Sometimes, if the mulch gets matted and clumped together (cheap softwood mulches can sometimes do this) the lily will have problems breaking free and may become deformed (for a year, it isn't permanent). But normal loose mulch it can easily push through. If you want to be sure, in late winter, as soon as the mulch is no longer frozen, you can lightly fluff it with a rake. Don't wait too long though or you may damage the emerging stalks.

Then, every year, your lilies will get bigger and stronger.

Ok thank you.
