They should come up again but what you can do is once they have flowered and the leaves died down you can lift them up then store them in in a cool dark dry place til next season then replant them.

many thanks
I have spring bulbs that come through usually in autumn but then once the cold arrives they seem to stay the same until the Spring when they shoot up and flower. I don't bother pulling up spring bulbs after flowering I just leave them from year to year.
Agree with coccinelle. My bulbs have been poking through for some time. I only lift them if I need to do some replanting in that space. Bulb tips are surprisingly hardy in the winter cold.
