hmmm.. my tulips have done quite nicely as a
naturalizer.... (Pittsburgh PA, Zone 5/6 southern exposure, clay
soil)

We planted in fall of 98 and they come back year after year.

not sure why you dig them down in georgia... unless you mean georgia
in the former USSR...



Maybe they need a more severe winter than they get in GA. Winter
in PA and winter in GA are pretty different.
