Tulips and Daffodils usually need a cold period of at least 10 weeks to flower correctly. Did you bulbs get that? If it is 10 weeks or later you can bring up and grow on a sunny window. This is what I've done for last few years. If they don't get an adequate cold period however some of the bulbs will only sprout foliage or the flowers won't form correctly. When I bring them up from our cold garage the foliage is usually yellow and pale. Once they get some sun the green up and grow normally.

Thank you for the help, Lilium Guy. They're all in the ground now, and we'll see what happens. :) I wasn't sure that I could expect growth next year, since they already used some energy making the sprouts this year. You don't expect the sprouts in the picture to grow foliage, do you? Hmm... that would let them get some cholorophyll going.

The Darwin Impression tulips, or Darwin Holland Glory are ones that will last a number of years in your cutting garden. I also put in a row of Drumstick Allium a few years ago and they make excellent additions to bouquets - perfect for a cutting garden. They come back every year and have slim tall strong stems - nice for flower arranging.

alan8 some will split and so will not be large enough to bloom the next year. If you want to replant the splits you can grow them another year and maybe they will be large enough to save for the next year. For the price of the tulips it is not worth the effort. This year I paid $12 for each bag of 60 tulips all of which will bloom, most will be from 24 to 30 inches high. I only replant tulips with a circumference of 12 CM or more. Most of the purchased tulips are 14 CM, but I have found that 12CM will bloom reliably. If you are using your regular refrigerator be aware that fresh fruit stored in the same refrigerator gives off Etheline gas which is likely to cause the tulips when planted to not bloom. Al
