All spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall.

Most tulips are good for horticultural zones 3 through 7. The optimal planting time is when night-time temperatures are 4-10 C (40-50 F), and soil temperatures are 13 C (55 F) or below.

In warmer climates, chill bulbs in the refrigerator (NOT the freezer) in darkness for 10-14 weeks before planting, starting mid-October. In horticultural zone 7, you can even pre-chill your bulbs for 8-10 weeks in case of mild winter. Flower bulbs require consistent temperatures during the pre-chilling period.
