I had great success with most, but I'm still searching for a yellow tulip that acts like a perennial. Tulipa batalinii is the one for you. This species tulip glows a golden yellow and emits a subtle fragrance. Reaching only six inches tall, it lends itself to rock gardens and bed edges. I planted them last spring in a bed made just for them.
Winter chills can damage strawberry roots and crowns.
Simply cover the plants with a five-inch layer of straw. In early spring when frost poses a dim threat, play it safe by brushing the straw off the top of the plants and into the shape of a circle to surround them. When warmer temperatures arrive for good, remove the straw until next fall. The evenings here are getting cold and I think I need to quickly decide what I should do with the plants. While some plants in this genus are biennials and perennials, those available at nurseries are bedding plants intended for annual use only.
