Question

Received tulips for Mother’s Day. How do I plant outside in Chattanooga, TN?

Answer 1

It is best to wait and plant these in winter, as they need to cold to break dormancy. I would plant them in November or December. Until then, you will need to bring them into dormancy to prepare for the next season. These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/tulips/how-to-cure-tulip-bulbs.htm
