When are you supposed to plant tulip bulbs?

Answer 1

Here's a tip. My wife will be planting another couple of hundred bulbs tomorrow. We use an auger bit (available at garden stores) and put it in my cordless drill. (although a corded drill with an extension cord will work just fine!). You'll be shocked (no pun!) at how easy it is. Drill, drop the bulb and stomp the hole shut. You can add blood meal or fertilizer if you wish. As long as you can drill the hole in the ground, it's not too late. It is such an easy way, you will plant many more bulbs than ever before.

Answer 2

You plant Tulip bulbs in the fall before the last hard frost when the ground becomes to frozen to work. I might also suggest that if you want really large flowers in the spring, that after you dig the hole for the bulb put in a handful of Miracle Grow garden mix (not Miracle Grow potting soil) then put in the bulb. The add boost this gives the roots of your bulb is well worth it.

Answer 3

Tulip bulbs are generally planted in the fall; however, if the ground is still unfrozen and workable, go ahead and plant them. As long as they have the chilling time they need, they should bloom next spring with no problem.

Answer 4

You are suppose to before the first frost but if you have't had very much snow and your ground is not frozen then you can plant them now and cover them with straw really good. You can also make you a place in your house if you have the room, then you willl have them before anyone else does.
