Worry not, muscari are infamous for doing this. I would find it unusual
if
they did NOT emerge in fall. They are always just fine come spring here
in
zone 6, and I suspect they will be ok for you as well. At worst the
foliage
will look a bit ratty, but the blooms will be ok.

Do you have reliable snow cover over the winter? Ours is sporadic; bare
ground and very low temperatures are tough on plants, but snow cover is
like
an insulating blanket.

Thanks Sue. We can't count on good snow, the nearby mountains tend to cause
a precipitation shadow, and the high winds often evaporate whats left. It's
a real challenge gardening here. But despite that it's a rewarding
activity.
