Tips for planting Tulips:

* Tulips grow best in seasonal climates that have at least 2 months of winter weather.

* Tulips love the sun so make sure you plant them in full sun.

* Plant fall bulbs pointed side up about 5 inches deep.

* Plant with about 4 inches between each bulb.

* Once the blooms die- leave them alone. Cutting off the yellowed leaved can actually harm your bulbs.

* Tulips do not grow well in clay because their roots have a tough time permeating the clay. If you have clay soil, simply mix in peat moss, bone meal, compost or the like to aerate the soil.

* For maximum bloom provide plenty of fertilizer and water.
