Tulip bulbs: plant October-November for spring bloom. Spring-planted bulbs won't bloom properly. Garden centers sell potted tulips in bud/early bloom for instant color—plant these now for 1-2 week display.
Best potted stage: colored bud showing, not open flowers. Plant at same depth. Tulips decline after 2 years—replant fresh bulbs annually for reliable display.
Fall planting: buy quality bulbs, plant immediately at 6-8" depth, pointed up. Bone meal in hole. Mark locations.
Don't impulse-buy full-bloom pots—they're finishing. Plan ahead for spring spectacle.
