After removing a chinese elm tree, I surprisingly have previously unknown tulips and crocuses this spring in that area. I also have inherited irises that have not bloomed yet but will need to be divided. A neighbor gave me daylilies, but they have never bloomed in 10yrs. Advice on where the bulbs will do best? Currently iris and daylilies are partial shade and tulips/crocuses are full sun. I have no sprinkler system and have never watered them or amended the soil etc, but I'd like to create a flower bed with these opportunistic pleasant surprises because they obviously do well despite my black thumb. Only other plants are opportunistic roses that grow like crazy as well as a pine tree. No real grass lawn, mainly weeds that I am going to cover with cardboard then mulch to eliminate the yard. Thank you!
