Trader Joe's Tulip Bulbs



I believe this is a brand-new item from Trader Joe's. At least I don't remember seeing it in the store last year. 

I had no idea that you could grow tulips with no dirt, so I bought this mostly out of amazement and curiosity. 

Sure enough, ten days later I had this: 




Trader Joe's quality is not to blame for the mangled leaf tips. These tulips are suffering from FPS--feline predation syndrome. 

The flowers are relatively expensive, at $8.99, but they're lovely, and you have a nice vase left even when blooming season is done. 


Will I buy it again? 

They're very nice, but I think once was enough.

The flowers are pretty! The vase is pretty! (Note to self: would make a great housewarming present.)

  3. What did you do with the bulbs when they were done blooming? Can you plant them outside?

  4. I assume they can be replanted. I just tossed them, since I'm lazy and have no aptitude at making things grow.
