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.
Tulips, hyacinths and other spring flowering bulbs can be dug up in July and stored. Place the bulbs in a single layer in a cool, airy place to dry, and store them in these conditions until planting time in the autumn. You may find that small bulbs have been produced at the base of the larger bulbs.
