tulip bulbs

17 years ago

Could I plant some tulip bulbs right now inside, in pots?Would they look good by April? I want to do it for my Mom and friends to give them in the spring. What do you think? Has anyone done this before. Should I just wait til I can get them into the ground, and forget it?

Thank you

If your bulbs have been chilled you can pot them up inside and they will be up in about six weeks. When they are up good light will be required. Al

Potted, they'll be a possibility. Left out of soil, they may be wasted. Go for it.
