[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bought tulips in the fall and now they've come and gone. I planted them because i expected them to be perrenials, but now i'm hearing that i can expect 1-2 years max unless i dig them up? Thoughts? I don't know if i have the energy to dig and store every year. [/quote] For tulips, my second-year survival rate (i.e., re-blooming) is about 40% and that was the same from second year to third year. Our soil is well drained and all bulb-plants receive a solid eight hours of sunlight; both factors in that 40% survival rate. I would never dig them up; I plant about 50 bulbs of tulips every fall. My survival rate for daffodils is about 90% and, for hyacinth, 75%. Giant allium is 100%.[/quote]
