In Australia, plant tulip bulbs from late March to May. Bulbs need 6-8 weeks of cold temperatures (below 10°C) before planting for best results.
Store bulbs in the crisper section of your refrigerator for 6-8 weeks before planting. Keep away from ripening fruit which produces ethylene gas.
Plant bulbs 15-20cm deep with the pointed end facing up. Space bulbs 10-15cm apart for a full display.
Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade. Well-draining soil is essential—tulips hate wet feet! Add compost for best results.
Water well after planting, then keep soil lightly moist. Reduce watering once foliage yellows after flowering.
Remove spent flowers but leave foliage until it yellows naturally. This allows bulbs to store energy for next season.
