Tulips are a popular flowering perennial that can be planted in the fall or early spring. To ensure successful planting, it is essential to select and purchase tulip bulbs from garden centers or bulb-farm catalogs. Tulip blooms come in various options such as color, petal differences, plant height, and size. Learning how to plant and grow tulips is a rewarding experience, as they offer stunning beauty and simplicity.
Tulips are relatively easy to grow and care for if you prepare the ground properly, follow basic planting rules, and plant them in well-drained soil in a sunny spot in mid- to late autumn. November is ideal, while December is good for those in zones 4-10.
To grow tulips, plant them deep, ideally 8″ to 10″ deep, and use a wide trench for cutting. For a full look, put 2″ to 3″ of space between the bulbs. Plant the bulbs about 5-7″ deep and 3-4″ apart, placing them in the soil with their pointy ends up.
Plan on 9 to 12 bulbs per square foot and place them about 5-7″ deep and 3-4″ apart, placing them in the soil with their pointy ends up. Plant your tulip bulbs in late October, November, or December, as the cold temperatures help to wipe out viral and fungal diseases that lurk in the soil. Tulips are also excellent companion plants, making planting them a rewarding experience.
