We don't think that counting the number of days between planting and emerging has any relevance. We think the most important factor is temperature, especially the ground temperature at the depth of the bulbs. Snow cover is also a factor and can be a help by insulating the ground and adding moisture. We have had more snow than normal this year and our temperatures have been far below normal. We predict a fairly late emerging this year.
