Question of the week: When to plant tulips?

Q: When should I plant tulips?

A: Tulips are a spring-blooming bulb that needs to be planted in the fall. Tulips need a cold period (about 14 weeks) in order to properly develop their flowers.

But if you are in the mood for planting bulbs don’t worry! There are a few types of bulbs you can plant in the spring that will bloom that summer. Gladiolus, dahlias, and elephant ears are a great addition to any yard and can be planted after the last frost.
