Tulip bulbs should be planted 6-8 weeks before your expected first frost.
When planting your tulip bulbs, be sure to choose a sunny spot that provides plenty of direct sun throughout the day.
A good rule of thumb is to plant the tulip bulbs in a hole that is 2-3 times as deep as the bulb’s height.
When planting those bulbs, be sure to pay attention to direction: place them in the soil with the pointed end facing up.
