Spring bulbs growing

Planted loads of new bulbs in August, says on the instructions AUG to Dec.
The Anemone's are growing, should I nip them off, I am assuming they will not flower in the spring if left to grow now.

What sort of anenomes? My guess is they'll be de Caen. Although they grow from bulbs, I've found in the past that they don't follow the strict "foliage and flowers come up in Spring" rule, and the foliage in particular can be around for a much longer period. I would leave them to it, and I think they will probably still flower in Spring. The fact that they are showing foliage now is probably a good sign, since they can be difficult to establish. Shows they're happy.

Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better, I shall leave them be.

A lot of spring bulbs begin to show early, often well before Christmas. The onset of cold weather will halt them in their tracks and they will still flower in spring, my grape hyacinths do this every year.:)
