Well, I...You made me laugh with your tulips story. Well, I had success for change leaving the tulips in. The reason I did is because this last batch of tulips was purchased 80% discounted at a big box store two years ago in october. Last spring these were perfect of course. Then I said, why don't I try again (for the 6th time) since this time around the bulbs are protected on one side by the patio (from critters), have patio gravel under the roots (due to their closeness to the patio) and in a raised excellent drainage bed. Most all came back. Possibly more than last year..now the daffy mixed in the border had reduced blooms but more foliage which indicates a need to divide them (after just two years of planting?). There is always something! I had all the varieties you listed at some point..some still survive. I decided I CAN'T have a spring without tulips anymore! These are too pretty!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591367588731031323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-37375101229081506192015-04-25T23:44:03.739-04:002015-04-25T23:44:03.739-04:00Tulips are high maintenance flowers.
