It depends a lot on where you live. Tulips perennialize only when they get very warm to hot DRY summers; too cool, or too much rain, and they just sit there and rot. I've had success in zone 6a with a raised rocky bed-type area to the south of a high fence, under a large tree, and in the lee of a shed, so it doesn't get as much rain as elsewhere, and what it does get drains very quickly. If you have somewhere to plant them that drains sharply, and that you can forgo watering over the summer, I'd give it a shot!
