Tulips

last fall or winter, sadly, if you're talking bulbs. who knows, you may get lucky and get some quick growth, depending on where you are. most of the bags will say the best time to plant them, or if you're getting them from a nursery, they should be able to tell you. if you mean already flowering ones from the store, they can go in now and will likely return next year.

Certain bulb plants need more cold than southern LA gets.

I know a few people that dig theirs up every year and keep them in the fridge (or maybe freezer?) over the winter. I love tulips planted around the base of trees and I would like to do that at some point, to a tree along my driveway.
