When and where to plant tulips?
Plant tulip bulbs in December or January to enjoy spring blooms if you live in hardiness zones 8 or higher.
The bulbs will require refrigeration at 40-45°F for 10 to 12 weeks. You must plant the tulips where they will receive a lot of sunlight.
The soil of the planting site should be well drained with a pH of 6 to 7. While planting, maintain a distance of 4 to 6 inches between each bulb.
You should plant tulips about 6 to 8 inches deep. Planting 12 inches deep can save them from strong winds or heavy rain
Cover tubers with 6-8 inches of soil, mixed with compost or tuber fertilizer. This will keep the tubers healthy and free from nutrient deficiencies.
Press the soil gently to remove any air pockets. Water them thoroughly. Watering will send them a signal about the right time to emerge from the ground.
