I bought a pot of blooming tulips and put them in a huge wine barrel container. I want it to come back in the same container next year.The blooms were past their prime when I bought them and got spent within a week and now the leaves are all yellow. Do you think it will be a good idea to put a layer of potting mix on top of the tulip blubs and sow some marigold/zinnia seeds? Basically I don't want the pot to look ugly this season and don't want to dig up the tulips either. Is this a possibility? What do you think?
I think that's a good idea, Tina. The bulbs should just snuggle under the plants gathering strength for next season.
