Muscari in full leaf

borgadr

One of my potted roses is underplanted with Muscari, planted a year ago.  It's just come up in full leaf!! Should I worry about it flowering, and not performing next spring?

It won’t flower yet, they always grow the leaves first.

Mine has too. Suddenly grew after we had rain. But the leaves always come way before the flowers.

Yes that perfectly normal. As the others say, they’ll flower in the spring.

Thanks all!

Mine did the same last year and I panicked too.  They’ll be fine through winter, it’s the ones that haven’t come up yet that are likely struggling.

keep them in the pot, otherwise they make a bid for world domination

Thanks! Yes they're all potted up. In fact I liked them so much last spring (long flowering, brilliant blue) that I bought a stack more that I've potted up too.

I pull the flower heads off as soon as they pass. They can seed into cracks in slabs. beware

Suits me @Hostafan1.
They can join the self-seeded erigeron, lobelia, corn marigolds, verbena and pansies that are happily colonising my patio!
