Plant bulbs directly in the ground in fall when soil has cooled to 55°F (13°C) or cooler and nighttime temperatures consistently drop to 40 to 50°F (4 to 10°C). Complete planting about 5 to 6 weeks before the ground freezes to allow sufficient time for root development.
Cut tulips for arrangements when they reach the desired stage of opening. For longest vase life, hold cut stems at 32 to 35°F (0 to 2°C) immediately after cutting.
