Can I plant late blooming flowers in the same pot/on top of my dead tulip bulbs?

Specifically, I got free zinnia seeds that will bloom in August, but no place to plant them. (Already have too many pots for my small space!)

how dead are your tulips !? --- but look the best bet is to remove the tulips ( whats left of them ) put them anywhere to dry out and see what happens .


as for the zinnias in the same pot --- no problems . but i'd be inclined to empty the the pot of it's mix and re pot witgh a fresh potting mix and then put your zinnia seeds in --- as another tip , for your zinnias , ' deadhead them after the flower has finished --- you'll get a lot more blooms --- domn't overwater them -- they don't need a big drink . good luck
Reply:No, I think you should just buy a new pot.
Reply:Yes just be sure to not loses your bulbs when you remove the flowers later.
