These benign neoplasms may originate in the cervix and account for approximately 8% of all uterine smooth muscle tumors. They are similar to tumors in the fundus. When located in the cervix, they usually are small, between 5-10 mm in diameter. Symptoms depend on size and location.
A The sooner you get them in the ground, the better. Daffodils, hyacinths and smaller bulbs such as crocus, grape hyacinth and Siberian squill do best when you plant them by mid- to late October. Tulips tolerate late planting better, but it's still best to get them in as soon as possible. Be sure to water the bulbs after you plant them and then about once a week until the ground freezes, unless we have regular rain. Watering is important because bulbs need to start growing roots this fall in order to make it through winter. Once the soil freezes, mulch the bulbs with several inches of straw or leaves.
In most areas, tulips bloom best when left in the ground all year. But if you live in an area that has extreme cold in the winter or if you buy tulip bulbs in the spring, the bulbs need to be stored in a cool, dry place until they can be planted in the fall.
