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.
You should be fertilizing tulips once a year. The best time as to when to fertilize tulips is in the fall. At this time, the tulip bulbs are sending out roots to prepare for the winter and are in the best possible shape to take up the nutrients in the tulip bulb fertilizer.
