Planting tulips under annuals

[Greg Carter]

I'm a newbie. Can I plant tulip bulbs this fall under and around
annuals (ornamental cabbage and kale) so that next spring the tulips
will flower where the cabbage/kale is now? Literally, plant the bulbs
at the bottom of the cabbage/kale plants (which is about 6" below
ground). If not, I envision little 6" round circles where the tulips
aren't in an otherwise tulip-laden area.

Thanks.

Yes, you can. I've done this many times.
