Sometimes, though, circumstances delay planting and the ground freezes in the winter. Plant the tulip bulbs as soon as the ground thaws in the spring, even if new growth has already started. 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.
How to Grow Tulip Plants: Plant tulip bulbs singly, or in groups. We do not recommend planting a large number of them close together, as they rapidly multiply. In a year or two, that small group will become a major clump of attractive plants, regardless of how many you plant together. Plant tulips in the fall. When planting tulip bulbs, select a sunny location where the soil is not too wet or soggy over winter and during spring. Importantly, select a spot where you can see them from a window of your house. Work the soil, adding compost to provide a rich bed for growth.
