Re: ReHelp need advice

I live in the lower part of zone 7.  Here, we have to chill tulip 
bulbs for about 8 weeks before planting to get them to bloom.  (Well,
species tulips don't need to be chilled, but I didn't think you were
talking about them).  Since tulips here are treated as annuals 
because of their chilling requirements, I don't plant them in perennial
beds.

I do plant other bulbs with my perennials.  I've found that daffodils
do particularly well here as well as the species tulips.
