How do you prepare tulip bulbs to plant?

This is not the time of year to plant tulips. They should be planted in the fall.





In the fall dig a hole 6" deep, you can put an organic fertilizer like bone meal, compost, or manure in the hole.


Place the bulbs pointy side up in the hole at least 6" apart. Cover with dirt.





If you have bulbs that you want to "force" plant them in a pot as stated above and place in the freeze for 3-6 weeks. Remove from the freezer water well and place in a sunny window. Wait for them to grow and enjoy.

tulips r very easy to grow ...but it is late in the season for them to sprout now..u can plant them though for next year (they prefer cool spring air)


1) dig a hole 6-8 inches deep 4 inches apart(remove old soil)


2) i usually add fresh mixed soil about 2 inches in hole


3) add bulb


4) fill rest of new gardening soil on top





Tulips like fresh spring air and in sunny spots ...usually planted in late fall for next spring
