I ordered a lot of bulbs on the internet for daffodils and tulips and since it's still on the fall that I will be receiving them, I took the time to plant something else. And now, I am left with only a small patch of land for these bulbs. Is it ok to interplant daffodils and tulips alternating each other or mixed up together? Because I intend to use up all the small land for all of these bulbs (approx 200 and I only got 5' x 3' patch of land available!). Will they overwhelm each other and in the end will only look cluttered? How do I plant them so the mix would be good to look at? Thanks a lot!
Can I interplant daffodils and tulips?
they'll be fine; if they start to get to cluttered for you, just dig up bulbs and seperate them.
Reply:I don't think there should be a problem, as long as the soil has good drainage and you feed them well enough. I've got a spot in my yard that's a jumble of lots of different bulbs and everyone seems happy. Tulips look great on borders because they stand so straight and tall - I might do them around the outside and the daffodils in the middle, or you could just interplant them randomly...I'm sure it would all look nice.
Reply:The previous owner of my house mixed tulips, Daffodils and jonquilles, and it works fine. Not sure if 15 square feet is enough for 200 bulbs- maybe you should check spacing instructions with the importer or distributor.
