The Anxious When, Where and How
The best time for planting tulips is during autumn, which means between September and November in the United States. At this time, the soil is about 60?F or colder at 5-6 inches deep. Tulips are a winter flower, which blooms perfectly at the end of the year. They grow best when receiving direct sunlight with a fast drainage. Planting tulips near water collects is a bad idea. You may also want to avoid planting them where frost temperatures don't happen.
Plant tulips to 6 inches deep, unless there is a major risk of pests. In that case, you'd better plant to 8 inches, leaving 2 extra inches as a safety net. For milder climatic areas, those extra inches will provide the bulb the needed coldness for appropriate blossoming. Planting tulips in groups of five per square foot would create a very attractive and organized display.
