Planting and care
Plant tulip bulbs in fall, six to eight weeks before a hard frost is expected and when soils are below 60 degrees F. This is usually during September and October in the north, and October and November in the south. Prepare the garden bed by using a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of 12 to 15 inches, then mix in a 2- to 4-inch layer of compost.
Dig a hole about three times as deep as the height of the bulb. Set the bulb in the hole, pointy end up, then cover with soil and press firmly. Space bulbs 4 to 6 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting. If hungry voles or mice are a problem, plant bulbs in buried wire cages to protect them from getting eaten.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Sun, Part Sun | Dig the area and loosen the soil about a foot deep. You should add some compost or dried manure to the soil. Mix the existing soil, soil amendments, and fertilizer, just like a cake batter until it is all mixed together. | Immediately after planting a tulip bulb in a container, water the container thoroughly. During the winter, milder winters mean you can leave the container outside, but the bulbs still need water. Tulip bulbs rot if they sit in too wet an environment. Once the tulip emerges, water whenever the top 1/2 inch of soil is dry. | 0 to 25 C | Both spring and summer bulbs need phosphorous to encourage root development. Summer and fall flowering bulbs should be fertilized monthly from shoot emergence until the plants reach full flower. Apply seven tablespoons of 10-10-10 soluble fertilizer (or equivalent bulb fertilizer). |
