Tulip Planting Tips It is easy to plant tulips in the garden. Pick a sunny site that has good drainage. Tulips won’t grow well in shade and will rot in wet soil. There should be twice as much soil over the tip of the bulb as height of the bulb, so if your tulip bulb measures 2 ½ inches (5 cm.)Subsequently, question is, how long do tulips take to grow? Spring bulb flowers need to experience temperatures of 35 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 7 degrees C.) for up to 15 weeks. The time for bloom after chilling varies by species. Tulips need 10 to 16 weeks of chilling and will sprout 1 to 3 weeks after the required period. People also ask, where do tulips grow best? Tulips are brightly colored, upright flowers which bloom from early spring to early summer. Native to the foothills of the Himalayas and Eastern Turkey, tulips grow best in areas with cold winters and dry, hot summers. Tulips are relatively easy to grow and do particularly well in flower beds and borders.Do tulips come back every year?The tulip as duly noted in horticultural texts is a perennial flower. This means that a tulip should be expected to return and bloom year after year. But for all intents and purposes this isn’t always the case. Most tulip-lovers content themselves with treating it as an annual, re-planting again each fall.
