Reply:Tulips are grown in zone 5-7 in the U.S. and 6-4 in Canada. They need a cold winter, if the winter is cold enough in your area, if the ground freezes for a couple of months then mabe you can grow them, but plant them before the ground does freeze, like now!!!!!!!! I think before you plant you ned to go on the web and search for GARDENING IN ZONE 8, it's there.

Make sure you give them a well lit location, %26amp; if you can, give them some nice rich soil. If you can put down some fertilizer around where you're planting them, all the better.


I just planted about 3 dozen tulip bulbs maybe 3 weeks ago. I live in NY.
