Hello everyone,
I am a rosarian from San Francisco who is planning on exploring the world of tulips and daffodils by growing a few in containers in Fall this year. The front side of my house is north-facing, and it receives a considerable amount of sunlight in the afternoon. My roses never had an issue in blooming at the said location. The backyard/main rose garden is south-facing, and most of the yard receives sufficient sunlight. I've been thinking of planting tulips and daffodils in containers for early-mid Spring bloom. When they are done blooming, my roses will start to bloom. There is a tulip garden as a part of Golden Gate Park here, which tells me that I could grow tulips in San Francisco weather. Besides some standard fundamentals on bulbs, I am a beginner in tulips and daffodils. It's safe to say I am only knowledgeable about growing and tending roses.
Could anyone here offer some guidance and pointers to steer me in the right direction in growing tulips in containers, please? I've decided I will be treating the tulips and daffodils as annual. I've read that it is possible to treat it as a perennial, but it won't have the same effect regarding bloom size.
Thanks,
Shyam
