Question
The tulips I received were full blooming tulips. There are no bulbs. Can I replant them.
Debbie,
The bulbs are the "roots" so to speak at the bottom of the Tulips. If these are freshly bought in the Tulip season they could still be viable bulbs,meaning they could produce next year IF they.But mix them with fresh ones as well. Just cut of the old foliage.Empty out the soil from the pots and shake the soil off the bulbs and just store them in a paper bag in a dry spot until fall planting time.
