Default Poor showing of tulips

winters are not cold enough for tulips down here and the summers too hot.

There are a very few tulips that do well - but basically you spent a lot of
time for nothing.

The worst part is that they will continue to have leaves each year but get
smaller and smaller over time

daffodils are the way to go if you want a bulb plant

Tulips are not reliably good in NC soil and climate. Another big
disappointment is rhubarb. Have not found any rhubarb that does well
here either. Anyone aware of rhubarb that will gro in the Triangle?
