Default Planting bulbs under pea gravel?

I planted bulbs along a limestone gravel private drive and they not
only come up, they are very happy daffodils. pea gravel doesnt
compact so no problem at all. Ingrid

Hiya,
I have a few beds with bulbs in them and was looking to put pea gravel down
on top. I realize the pea gravel will help keep the weeds down but will it
also prevent the bulbs from sprouting? I'm looking at putting 1-2" down.
Thanks much,
