You've got tulips coming up in THAT?? Heavens! I love tulips. Get them anywhere from 100-500 at a time.
I've found certain divisions come back for me better than others. Peony-flowered like Angelique and the Fosteriana divisions are most reliable here.
Sorry the picture below is so bad. Wish I could have taken a picture of the whole porch without getting more nasty "lawn" (that term is used loosely) in the photo. The whole length of the tulip bed is 32 feet with all reds and yellows.
