How do I plant tulip bulbs in winter?
Condition BulbsChill your tulip bulbs in a refrigerator for at least six weeks before planting in the winter to ensure that they have received enough coldness to condition them for spring growth. Chilling can occur naturally if you are planting tulip bulbs early enough (October or November).Plant BulbsPlant the winter tulip bulbs approximately 6 inches below the surface of the soil with the pointy end facing the sky. Leave the point of the bulb approximately 4 inches from the surface to provide enough depth to ensure proper temperatures and reduce the time it takes for the sprouts to reach the surface.
