Tulips are very iffy. I've tried anemones, crocus, Dutch iris, and a handful of others, but they struggle so.

I'm planning to do some digging soon while I can still see where the perennials are. I'll re-plant the tulips as I go but I've been wondering whether I could plant new bulbs with them at the same time, even though it's earlier than I would usually put them in.Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-64394831734918343292011-09-07T12:59:40.820+01:002011-09-07T12:59:40.820+01:00Those are some really pretty choices.

Do ...That's a really nice selection, Elaine! <br /><br />Do you have to pull a lot of your bulbs up for the summer and replant them? We leave most of ours in the ground in our climate. (Except for ones that can't take the cold, but I think all the spring bulbs all get left in.) <br /><br />Getting caught up today!Diane at My Cottage Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855098457081134408noreply@blogger.com
