Warm Winter in Massachusetts: Don't Unmulch Too Early

Mild Winter Tempts Early Uncovering—But Wait

A Zone 6 grower had mulched temperate carnivores for winter. With highs in the 40s–50s and lows in the 20s–30s, they wanted to uncover plants for sun but re-cover if cold returned.

Check, Maintain, Then Re-Mulch

Uncover briefly to inspect, spray fungicide, remove dead material—then mulch back loosely. Keep plants out of direct sun to avoid premature dormancy break. In your area, hard freezes are possible until mid-March. Only uncover permanently when confident temps won’t drop below 25°F, then watch for freak cold snaps.

Good Growing!
