If you plant flower bulbs upside down in the fall, will they come up in the spring?

"girlonline64" is wrong because I did that before with my grandmother and they came up

Yeah, usually they will. However, their flowers may be all deformed when they do.



Plants WANT to grow and flower. Most all plants have mechanisms that detect gravity, leaves and shoots will grow up, roots down. Even if planted upside down, they will usually still find a way to live, but not necessarily look pretty.



Go ahead and try it with one of your bulbs... If it shoots up, dig it up later and look and see how it managed. Good experiment.

Reply:Yes, Roots first. :D
