I will usually plant new stuff sometime in November. Some of the
established bulbs - paperwhites, Erlicheer, and the short-cup types -
will come up in November and then just sit there at about 3 to 4 inches
tall. The galanthus always comes up in November and grows about 6
inches. The cold doesn't seem to bother them much.

When does it get cool enough for you to plant the narcissus? Here, they
pop 
up before winter if we plant them much before Thanksgiving.
