Milder temps cause plant confusion

CINCINNATI - The milder temperatures are leading to some confusion for plants.

A number of spring flowers throughout the Tri-State are starting to bloom. But that’s nothing to be concerned about.

In fact, experts say the best thing to do is just leave your plants alone.

"Why do we think we're smarter than Mother Nature? She knows what she's doing,” said Denny McKeown of the Blooming Garden Center.

“We can have an awful lot of cold weather, and even those daffodils and perennials that are starting to come up and they are too, they're going to be able to adjust and be just fine and do their thing when they're supposed to in spring."

McKeown  says the worst that can happen is a little frost burn on some leaves. But it won’t permanently affect the plants.
