can you plant on top of bulbs
oilpainter (3). You can't plant anything over bulbs but you can plant beside them and let the Annual spread out over where the bulb is. That would mean that you have to have spaces between your bulbs. Planting over them wouldn't be good for the bulbs or the Annual.ou can also dig up your bulbs and plant them in pots and allow the foliage to die back. Pull off the dead foliage and store the pot in a cool dry place until the fall, when you'd plant them again. Like Bookmark September 26, 2010 at 5:29PM. Thank you for reporting this comment.
