Tulip bulbs are planted in autumn. From September until the first night frost.

For optimal results, it is important to put the tulip bulbs correctly into the soil. First remove the weeds. Then start ploughing the soil and add potting soil or compost, for optimum results add wood chips.
Plant the bulb 3 to 4 times its diameter deep into the soil, about 5 to 10 centimetres deep. A maximum of 40 bulbs per square metre.

When buying the tulip bulbs, it is wise to take into account the colour of the flower and the flowering period, depending on your wishes.
Or let yourself be surprised by planting the flower bulbs mixed.
Would you like to give nature a hand? Then plant bulbs such as alliums, muscari and crocuses. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, insects that pollinate and are therefore essential for plant reproduction.

After the tulip has blossomed you can certainly enjoy it for another year or more. If you want to recycle in a completely ecologically responsible way, leave the bulb with foliage in the ground after it has finished flowering. Only when the foliage dies, when it is yellow in colour, you can cut it off.
Tulip bulbs should then be removed from the soil, keep them dry and then the bulbs can be put back into the soil from October onwards.

Tulip bulbs can be ordered from the flower bulb shops in Keukenhof Gardens in the spring. These bulbs will then be sent by post all over the world in September. Of course, the tulip bulbs are also for sale at garden centres and online via Amazon.com.
