This response to a Google search may clarify my response. My history with tulips is from living in New England where we planted them every year. I switched to daffodils and iris which are perennial. Here in Florida I don't have any bulbs.<br />Tulips are native to southern Europe, northern Africa, Asia and Anatolia. In those or similar climates species tulips re-emerge for many years as well as spreading and reproducing naturally. Hybrid tulips in those climates might re-emerge for as many as seven or eight years, and might propagate naturally, but not as prolifically as species tulips. In other, harsher climates, many gardeners consider hybrid tulips to be annuals and re-plant them every year.

But, hey, if it works, then maybe the experts are wrong. I may try it, but if I cannot get down that far...well, we will see.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-19379592718924229402015-12-19T08:18:21.177-06:002015-12-19T08:18:21.177-06:00I haven't planted any bulbs but I'm intere...I haven't planted any bulbs but I'm interested in doing so.
