In the fall I added a little patch of tulip bulbs to the tall garden boxes in the greenhouse area for earlier season color. They look nice this year. Tulips are often a mixed bag for me when trying to incorporate them in planting areas that get summer water so TBD on if they'll be successful in the future

@aosmith16 in a past life we bought a garden with a house included. The prior owners we a brace of retired lawyers. They treated tulips as annuals and planted over $500 a year. It was magnificent. I did not attempt to match them.

I've heard of this approach (including from a tulip bulb company, haha), but it definitely strikes me as an expensive way to do things!

@[email protected] The very idea of tulips bred for one year disturbs me, no matter how lovely the blooms. "Darwin" tulips for me, please! But I suspect our winters aren't cold enough here in Porto anyway, given how few I see in local yards. An odd idea for a born New Englander! I shall have to make do bloomscrolling
