kousa said:You know how they always tell you to space the bulbs 4-5" apart. Well, space them half of that distance and in put them in a circular arrangement. So when the daffs and tulips bloom, they will look like a small clump. You can space the clumps like a foot or 2 apart depending on the effect that you want to achieve. Have you ever bought tulips or daffs in pots in the spring? They plant the bulbs even closer than 2". The pots look really nice. Well they will look crowded in a few years but by that time you will have some other designing ideas that you will have to dig up the bulbs anyway. Some tulips don't even come back your bed will be constantly changing over the years.



Thank you, especially for the pictures. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to plant my tulips with daffodils, or if I want to plant tulips with tulips and daffs with daffs. Any thoughts?
Shrug!
