Warmer weather contributes to early blooms

ROANOKE, Va. โ€“ Green thumb experts believe a warm winter is why plants blossom a bit earlier.

Members of the Star City Garden Club say because of the warm weather, Mother Nature has tricked plants into thinking itโ€™s spring.

Some plants like Winter Jasmine can grow during the frigid temperatures, and experts say to enjoy the spring colors.

โ€œIf you have more delicate plants you might want to move them inside, you might want to cover some, we encourage everyone to keep planting spring flowers,โ€ Sherrene Wells with Star City Garden Club said.

They said plants usually bloom around late March into early April, depending upon the weather.
