When can I plant a tulip bulb outdoors in zone 7? I got a mature plant around Valentine's Day and it's foliage is about dead now. (for this year) But I have never had a tulip before and wish I knew when it would be alright to plant it.
my tulips just got done blooming, i have them in a pot out on my front porch the leaves are still greann as can be though and its been a week or so since they stoped blooming...
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
mine are around an inch out of the ground I transplanted them when they came up so I'm not sure whether they will bloom or not this year. They are usually pretty hardy for me.
I was just given a lot of tulip bulbs. I was wondering the best way to store them. I would perfer to plant them late fall. It is also possible that I will give a few away.
On Easter, recieved 2 pots of forced tulips. I have 12 bulbs in all.--the blooms are spent now & I was wondering, do I cut them off or let them go brown & do I wait to plant them out until the fall since they have already bloomed, or do I plant them out now???? What about watering???--or do I lay them out, I really have no idea here--any and all help will be appreciated. _________________________

dO NOT CUT THE SPENT BLOSSOMS OFF . YOU must let the plants get lots of sunshine and water till they dry off themselves. THat is how they get food for next years bulb. You can let it like that in the pot till fall if you wish. Do not cut them back.
