When to Plant Tulip Bulbs?

Plant Tulips in fall when temperatures are in the 60's or lower during the day.

Tulips require 12-16 weeks of consistently cold temperatures (50's during the day or lower) in order to produce a flower bud in spring.

How to Plant Tulip Bulbs?

Plant tulip bulbs in well-drained soil. Tulips do not like wet soil, if water pools in the area they are planted add compost to help improve drainage.

Plant Tulip bulbs 6-8" deep. The pointed end of the bulb should be facing the sky.

Place the soil that was removed from the planting hole over the Tulips. Water the bulbs in after the initial planting. Avoid watering after the planting as they prefer to be dry in winter.

Bouquet Planting Tulips

For a full bouquet appearance plant 5 bulbs per one 10-12" wide planting hole. The bulbs can be planted 1-2" from each other in this larger hole.

Planting Tulips in Pots

Tulips can be planted in pots in temperate climates that do not experience many freeze and thaw cycles. If tulips are planted in pots in above ground containers in a climate that has varying winter temperatures the pots will need to be insulated to protect the bulbs from the effects of the freezing and thawing that may occur.

What to do when your Tulips are done blooming?

The flower stems can be removed once the blooms have faded. Keep the leaves intact until they yellow, wither and can easily be removed from the soil. The leaves gather energy from the sun after the blooms fade to provide energy for the next seasons blooms. If possible, keep the bulbs dry during summer, as they prefer dry conditions when dormant.

Beautiful spring color

Pros:

Flower and foliage color
Great value
Bulbs were in good condition expect one

Cons:

One died

I planted my 25 bulbs in the fall of 2022 and except for one bulb, all came up and bloomed in spring of 2023. I loved the color not only of the flowers but the foliage had a slight blue hue to it and darker purple spots on the leaves. They were shorter than 12-14 inches at about 10-12 inches, but this could be because they were newly planted.

Pros:

Easy planting

Cons:

I planted them late in February. But here in Ohio there are still many days at 50F or lower before Spring, so I keep my fingers crossed. Few of them emerged just 2 weeks after planting, I hope the rest will follow!

I ordered this Fruity Sherbet Mix in Fall and planted them on Christmas Day (after about 8 weeks in the fridge). It’s now March and every single one has come up. I counted 50 distinct plants and now I’m just waiting for flowers. Excellent, healthy bulbs and I will buy again.
