In pots they are easy to lift out when they are finished blooming, and something else goes in their place, like dahlias, which have been started in the greenhouse. Tulips do best if they are allowed to dry out completely after blooming. Because we water, that can't happen. Also tulips don't persist well here. We lift the pots, dry out the bulbs and then take them to our garden on Whidbey island and plant them in the sandy soil there where they get very little summer water. They come back better for us there.
