Dig the soil up to a depth of 12 inches. Remove weeds and rocks. Break up soil clumps and loosen the soil. Spread 1 inch of peat moss on top of the planting area. Work this into the soil to the depth of 12 inches.
1 Examine all bulbs carefully before storage and again before planting. 2  When tulips come up in late winter or early spring, carefully remove all infected plants and plant parts as soon as they are noticed. 3  Collect and destroy all leaves, blossoms, and stems as soon as blooming is over.
