Yes and Yes. I plan to do mine in the next couple of days. I also will be putting cyclamen and pansies in with them too.

Hi Mobee :)
I'd wait a while longer before planting the tulips...they need the cold weather before they start to send out roots, so about Oct/Nov is the best time. If you plant them too early they could rot. Should be OK now to plant other spring bulbs though :)

I leave tulips in their pots for several years with out any rotting taking place. in fact they tend to produce lots of new bulbs.
