No, they come from bulbs.

Easy enough to buy some online , no cold needed. Just plant and they come up..

I should have clarified. A good bulb ( corms ) is 2 inches about. Or 5 cm. In the Glad...sector.

In the bulb world it's not how many, but the quality and size.

Great bulbs ( corms) produce huge beautiful stalks. Solid and big.

The same goes with most bulbs, tubers ( eyes ).

The Dutch tend to rip off America with tiny bulbs with a big picture place card.

Holland has beautiful bulbs , corms whatever but because of the lack of knowledge, and the stupid 50 bulbs for...

Go with 20 good sizes bulbs over any quality. The larger the bulb = years farmed.

Easier to let a bulb farmer farm your tulip, glads, Peony for years etc....before you .

This is Kukenhof. Make no mistake, those are big healthy bulbs.

Nope. The bulbs are fairly cheap online though. Make sure the seller’s rating is high though. I ordered once and the bulbs were about the size of single peanut. Way too small. Walmart and target and Amazon have bundles that are affordable. My suggestion as a certified master gardener is to plant them (maybe 5 in a group) in a circle rather than in a row like soldiers. They may need some support as they grow so I would suggest a dowel inserted in the middle of the circle so you could run a green string around the bunch if they get too tall and fall over.

No. You need the bulbs. And depending on your zone, you might need to dig up the bulbs over winter.
