Warm or Cold – Either Works

Species tulips, unlike their larger Dutch cousins, don’t require a chilling period to prepare them for their splendid spring show. Either warm outdoor temperatures in mild climates or chilly winter weather will suit them just fine.

Outdoor Beds
1. Find a location where the soil drains well. If there are still puddles of water 5-6 hours
after a hard rain, scout out another site. Or amend the soil with the addition of organic
material to raise the level 2-3 inches to improve the drainage. Peat moss, compost, ground bark or decomposed manure all work well and are widely available.
2. Plant your tulips where they will get a generous helping of early season sunshine. This can be a full sun site or even a location under deciduous trees, a spot that is shady later in the year. By the time the trees’ leaves unfurl, your tulips will have finished their show and will

have slipped into dormancy until next spring.
3. Planting species tulips is easy, you don’t need to dig down far. Tuck the bulbs just 3-4" inches below the surface. Spacing of 3 inches apart is ideal.
4. Water well; thoroughly soak the soil. Your bulbs will sprout and bloom in the spring.
