Planting Instructions: Tulip bulbs should be planted immediately after received in the fall. In extremely warm climates, plant when the ground cools. Grow in sun in informal groupings of 5 or more bulbs. Plant bulbs 3-4 inches deep or about two times the height of the bulb and 5" apart in well-drained soil with plenty of humus. Set the bulbs firmly in place, with the pointed ends facing upward. Cover the bulbs with soil and water thoroughly. Remove old flowers leaving as much stem and foliage as possible until they die down. To force, plant bulbs in containers with soil and cool at 40°F for 15 weeks.
