Tulip in Houston?
Bulborum Botanicum (Thu, 19 Jul 2012 08:17:06 PDT)

Try to buy them as soon as possible
and keep them well ventilated at 16-18 ºC
for example in a barn or shed

The small bulbs are often dead late in the season
the humidity in the shops is to low
and the bulbs dry out soon
especially bulbs like the Tulipa clusiana and Tulipa batalinii
they have a fantastic skin
but you can't see what is under it

Thank you so much for all the suggestions and comments. I think I may try T
clusiana in a raised bed. Will it be best to plant in the fall when the
temperature is cooler, I'm thinking October.
