Tulips should be planted in the fall, a few weeks before the first frost.
This usually occurs between mid-September and early November.
You can plant them a little earlier to give the plants more time to develop roots.
But not too early, so that the bulbs do not start growing before winter.
What do tulips like when planting
Tulips love sunny places and light partial shade.
They thrive on hills and sunny slopes.
Depending on the type and size of flowers, you can plant them in front flower beds, alpine hills and mixed flower beds.
During planting, it is very important to correctly determine the depth of the hole.
How to water tulips to grow
For feeding, take 4 tablespoons of urea, one each of double superphosphate and potassium sulfate.
All ingredients are mixed, scattered over the garden bed at the rate of 3 tablespoons of the mixture per square meter and the ground is watered properly.
The second time the tulips are fed during budding.
How to water tulips
Tulips need to be watered regularly starting in spring.
Do not allow the soil to dry out and keep it moist at all times.
Two weeks after the end of flowering, stop watering, so the bulbs will gradually begin to go into a dormant state.
