Do you have to bury the bulbs 100%? The hannahford store in my location has tulip bulbs buried half way, and the upper part of the bulb is above the soil. It still germinated by the looks of it. Will they bloom? Just wondering...

@beliot89 that's what Im wondering! there's so much here left unanswered

if I leave em in the garage during the dormant stage, do I water them at all? The soil won't dry out?

And will the leaves sprout out while they're in the garage or am I supposed to just take them outside after the 12 weeks are up??

AAANNDD do bulbs just grow 1 tulip and then die? Or do they continuously sprout?

awesome video! this spring I killed my bulbs doing this... now I know everything I did wrong... and I rather like her hairdo.

I live in zone 5 can I plant the bulbs in my container then place container in the garage?

[BlasphemousPothead]
