Can I plant a potted tulip outside now or do I need to wait until it is done blooming for now?

My husband got me potted tulips for Valentine's day and they already have blooms. I live in NE Texas and it is still kinda cold outside. I don't know if I can plant them in the garden or if I need to wait.

Can I plant a potted tulip outside now or do I need to wait until it is done blooming for now?
you can plant them outside now, but if you get a freeze they will not make it, i always recommend spring flowers going in the ground 2nd week of march. those will bloom for you every year- great flowers!
Reply:TULIPS ARE PLANTED IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER SO THEY COME UP IN THE SPRING.YES WAIT TILL DONE BLOOMING NEVER BOTHER A PLANT WHILE BLOOMING IT WILL DIE ON YOU JUST WAIT.
Reply:in central near Austin, still to early.. may freeze..but don't wait till it gets to hot.. fall is the ideal time to plant.then they have the fall and winter to take root and the dormant period is necessary for good blooming in the spring. they are a cool weather bloomer. warmer weather they won't bloom as much. happy planting and many beautiful flowers..
