As a gift I got a pot of tulips and after they bloom I don’t know what to do with the bulbs, I know they can be planted but it is the middle of May and I am not knowledgeable about plants, can somebody tell me what ton do with them. Thank you
What to do with tulip bulbs in the middle of May?
Sure plant them outside in the ground now and they will bloom next spring.
Reply:Where you live determines if you plant them now or later-- here in zone 7 they need the chilling as the person said. If you live north of Oklahoma, you probably can just plant them. In general, tulips need a time of cold weather-- then things change depending on where you live.
Would help you if you learn your planting zone-- your local nursery can tell you or you can find a planting map online.
good luck
Reply:Let the leaves die off. Then pull out, carefully, the bulbs and store in a cool dark spot until the fall and at that time can replant for next spring's bloom!
