Moved into our new house and relandscaping most the yard. These two green plants/flowers just appeared and I have no idea what they are. I haven't dug them up to check the roots. It's next to elephant ears, but it doesn't look they did when they came up from a bulb.

I'm in zone 8A Dallas, Texas.

Any ideas what they are? Just want to make sure it isn't something invasive. Thank you!

They look like Hyacinth.

These look like lilies. 😁 To be a little more specific, either asiatic or oriental lilies. I wouldn't worry because they are coming up in the winter, I live in zone 7b and mine have been doing this for years. Of course at first I freaked out and thought the cold would kill them! If you do get some night time temps of below around 25 to 20, just throw some leaves on top of them. I promise it will really be exciting to see them bloom in the late spring/ early summer and what colors you will have!

Hyanciths.

Fantastic! Those are great flowers. I was surprised they came up. I forgot I planted them there. Good to know they can come up this early. Figured it wouldn't be until feb/March.

It's been warm and my azaleas are still blooming and hostas started to rebloom.

I guess you never know :)

Thank you very much!!

Thank you! This may be it after looking it up online.

Hyacinths have broader leaves in a fuller and tighter rosette.

If you decide to move them later on, dig deep, they have a way of pulling themselves down sometimes and it is easy to accidentally chop into them. They must have good drainage or they rot over time.

You have two options: wait and see or dig down carefully and look at the bulb.

I did think Lily first but, its fall. My Hyacinths always showed up in fall when I lived in CA. Lilies always showed up in spring.

Do Hyacinths even grow in Texas?

They grow in Arkansas, but not sure about Texas. Here they are short lived, as are many of the tulips. My asiatics and orientals are coming up now, I just checked. They've done this for years, they bloom at the regular time.

I will probably just want and see. I'm not in a rush! Either option works for me.
