Which flowers are bulbs?
None of the above flowers are bulbs, but they are perennials. They are all beautiful flowers. The bleeding hearts and peony can be bought as a root, but it will take the peony several years to get big enough to flower. The other flowers can be grown by planting seeds. I prefer to just buy them as small plants. The foxglove is poisonous, so don' t have it around small children, but don't condemn this plant. It has saved thousands of lives. Digitalis is used to make medicine. The foxglove is actually not considered a perennial, but because they reseed themselves you will have flowers every year. They like shade and so do the bleeding hearts. The other flowers listed are all sun lovers.
Reply:None are bulbs.....peonies have bulbous roots, but are true perennials. All of the other plants on your list are perennials, except foxglove (Digitalis) it's a biennial.
Reply:None of the above. Some are rhizomes or corms, but not technically "bulbs"
