When to Plant Your Tulip Bulbs:
If you want a successful Tulip Garden next spring, plant bulbs from October to December. Tulips can be planted until January and still flower well in the spring because they only need a short season of growth.
Where to Plant Your Tulip Bulbs:
Tulips perform best in full sun but will tolerate some shade. Tulips dislike wetness and require well-drained soil. They grow in most soils but if the soil is very dry, plant the bulbs a day after it has rained.
How to Plant Your Tulip Bulbs:
Prepare the site by removing any weeds or stones and use a fork or trowel to loosen and aerate the soil. For best results plant about 8" deep. Make sure the pointed end of the bulb is facing up. When planting tulips, it is nice to place them close to one another to avoid having them standing by themselves in the spring. This is one flower that always looks better in groups. You can place bulbs as close as six inches away from each other in the ground. A great tip is to alternate rows of early, mid, and late blooming tulips so you may enjoy tulips throughout the entire season!
Tulip as Perennial:
Strictly speaking, tulip bulbs cannot be guaranteed to flower for more than one season. Tulips hail from the rugged and windy mountains of Central Asia and need conditions that are not usually found in American gardens. However, to encourage your tulips to bloom for several years in a row, we recommend that you do the following:
-Plant your bulbs deep (8-10 inches). Deep planting helps to prevent the bulb from splitting up into many small, non-flowering bulbs.
-Fertilize the bulbs when they push through the soil in spring. (low-nitrogen organic fertilizer)
-Remove spent flowers as soon as the bulbs finish blooming. Snapping off the top of the flower stem encourages the plant to send energy into bulb growth rather than seed production.
-Allow the foliage to wither completely before you remove it.
-Avoid summer irrigation. Tulips prefer to be dry during their dormancy.
