Soil Preparation
Great gardens start with great soil! Soil preparation is essential for successful gardening.
Flower bulbs prefer loose, well-drained soil rich in organic material. Start by removing weeds, rocks and debris from the planting area. Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 12 inches and mix in organic matter such as peat moss, compost, manure, or a combination. This is especially important if you are planting in an area with heavy clay or ground that tends to hold moisture. Properly preparing the soil before planting will keep the bulbs from rotting and help the roots to access oxygen and nutrients in the soil. This is a crucial step to ensure happy, healthy and beautiful plants.
NOTE: It is important to store bulbs correctly until they are planted. Unpack the bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place with plenty of air circulation, where the temperature is between 40-70℉.
Bulb Planting Instructions
- Plant tulip bulbs in the fall when the ground cools and before the first hard frost. The outside temperature should be about 65℉ or cooler.
- Select a well-drained location that receives full sun to partial shade.
- Dig a hole 5-6″ deep in loosened soil and place bulbs in the hole. Bulbs should be spaced about 4-5″ apart. Plant them in the ground with their pointy ends up.
- Cover with soil and water well so the soil above the bulb settles.
Ongoing Tulip Care
Caring for your Tulips after they bloom is rather simple but important to
follow for optimum returning blooms. Once your tulips fade to yellow and the
blooms drop, remove only the flower heads with some pruning shears by cutting
right below the base of the flower. This will keep the tulips from creating a
seed head. It is important to allow the remaining foliage to die back
naturally (usually another week) to absorb the sunlight that helps produce the
energy needed for next year’s bloom. You can then remove the rest of the dead
foliage to ground level. They should bloom again the following year. If
desired, you can also divide your tulip bulbs every three to five years. To do
this, carefully dig around the edges of the plant with a trowel to determine
how deep the bulbs are. Once you have determined this, lift the bulbs out.
There should be a collection of bulbs which you separate gently with your
hands. Replant a few bulbs in the same spot and plant the others right away in
new locations. They should bloom again the following spring.
