Sometimes, though, circumstances delay planting and the ground freezes in the winter. Plant the tulip bulbs as soon as the ground thaws in the spring, even if new growth has already started. Dig the soil up to a depth of 12 inches. Remove weeds and rocks. Break up soil clumps and loosen the soil. Spread 1 inch of peat moss on top of the planting area. Work this into the soil to the depth of 12 inches.
A: Plant the tulips as they are in the pot and plant them in a sunny location. If you try to separate tulips out of the pot, they will wilt and die. After the foliage fades in June, dig up the potted bulbs, pull off the spent foliage and store the bulbs in a cool, dry location until mid-September.: I doubt it is a frost problem. Tulips are one of the coldest tolerant bulbs on the market. They can grow and bloom even if there is still snow on the ground. My guess is you had some kind of herbicide residue in the soil when you planted them or had some herbicide drift.
