Poor showing of tulips

Last fall I planted ~100 tulip bulbs of various types in different locations around the yard. About half have emerged. About a third of those have produced a flower. Needless to say, I'm disappointed. Do tulips take a year to get established ? I've also heard that the poor results may have been due to mild winter. I'm wondering if I just got a bunch of duds. I've planted tulips and daffodils down here. Skip the tulips, only the daffodils come back. I don't know if it's the warm climate or the animals or the soil, but my results have been similar to yours. -- Brent Harsh - KD4PBO /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: Say bharsh at ncroadrunner \ / NO to HTML in email and news. ------------------------X------------------------------- Cary, NC, USA / \ Read my mail with fixed fonts. |

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? |
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 Tomatolord wrote in message oups.com...
