When should I plant pre-cooled tulip bulbs?Updated a month ago
While tulip blooms won't make their debut until spring, autumn is the ideal time to get your bulbs in the ground. Depending on your growing zone, we recommend planting in late November or early December, 6-8 weeks before you expect a hard ground freeze. Our tulip bulbs are sourced from growers in the Netherlands, stored in our coolers at the optimum temperature and humidity for pre-cooling, and will arrive on your doorstep ready to plant at the perfect time for growers in Zones 7-11. You can plant immediately upon receipt of your order or you can place in a cool, dark well ventilated location (34-50 degrees F) for an additional few weeks. We recommend planting no later than January 1st.
