We found tulip bulbs left over from last fall. Look fine. Will they bloom next year ?

yes they will - make sure you plant them in the up position :)

My guess is that some will but not all. Tulips should be planted in the fall of the year they were harvested in the growing fields.





Plant them here and there in your perennial garden but not in a mass planting -- get fresh bulbs for that.
Reply:I think so, they should.
Reply:If they've been in a cool place, it's certainly possible. At any rate, you have nothing to lose by trying, so plant them and hope for the best!
Reply:I just found some as well and am going to plant these just to see. I do know that bulbs out of the ground don't last forever.
Reply:they should as long as the bulbs are not dried out, but like all bulbs no guarantee of blooming
Reply:If they don't LOOK moldy, or all dried up, I'd plant 'em, just to see what happened. Just put 'em in the back, so if they don't grow, it wont mess everything up!


Happy planting!!
Reply:Take a good look at the bulbs. If they don't look "healthy" I doubt they'll sprout.





However, I have had bulbs in storage for over 3 years... a few dried out (which I didn't plant) but the ones that looked healthy I planted and each one spouted up just fine!
Reply:Try it and see. If they were kept in a dark cool place then it's possible.
