There are more
than 100 species of tulips. Most all require
cold winters, or chilling for 6 weeks. Plants
do best in full sun. Set bulbs out in October
or November in cool winter climates and December
or January in warmer regions. Rich, sandy
soil is ideal. Do not rely on bulbs to perform
the second year ~ even with ideal conditions.
