when is the best time to plant daffs and tulips?

Answer 1

Plant them in the fall so that they freeze and revive in the spring. If you plant now you may not see anything until next year, depending on whether they wintered the bulbs for you at the nursery or not.

Answer 2

Plant your bulbs once the weather has turned consistently cool in fall and before the ground has frozen. Place the bulbs firmly in the soil with the pointed end up. See a planting chart for specific planting information; the general rule of thumb is to cover the top of each bulb with 3" to 4" of top soil without breaking off any sprout growth. Feed your bulbs three times a year: at planting time in the fall; when the sprouts first push through the soil in the spring and when the foliage dies in the summer.

Answer 3

It depends on where you are. In most of the US, they are planted in the fall. Most bulbs require what's known as "chill time". The plant has to be cold for a couple of months in order to sprout and bloom.

In warm climates, like southern California, tulips have to be kept in a refrigerator for a couple of months for them to bloom when they're planted.

Answer 4

In Montana we plant the tuliups and daffadils in the fall, right now my daffadils are ready to bloom and the tulips are not far behind in the spring we plant gladiolas,begonias,lillys and calla lillys.

Answer 5

Early fall. Both have to set roots in the fall and become established. They also usually have to go through a cold period -- this stimulates flowering.

Answer 6

Always in the Fall

Answer 7

Early spring as soon as there is no threat of frost in your area.
