Folk, you're confusing me! I live in zone 8b. It's 105* to 108* all summer long and I am growing tulips. Not any kind of special tulips. Just bulbs I got from Wally World 3 years ago. This picture is from April 14th last spring. Right now the hyacinth in these beds are blooming, the tulips are growing much bigger then last year and should bloom in a week or two and the crocus are just waking up. And there are daffodils growing in my front yard that I have never watered or fertilized even once. Please help me understand why we are in the same zones but with very different results.
But I can't grow a lily or a daylily to save my life! I'm not blaming that on the heat, just my incompetence. But I sure would like to have them growing in my yard. Any suggestions for my hot climate would be appreciated.
