Watering Tulips

Question

I planted tulips in an outdoor raised garden 4’x10′. They are starting to show (.5-1″). Should I water them with a drip system (drip every 6 inches) or with a spray system?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

After the bulbs have sprouted, tulips don't need or want a lot of water. Here's a helpful article:

It's important that they're planted in well-draining soil, and that they don't sit in soil that's too wet. If they're planted among other water-loving plants, you'll need to take special care to be sure they don't get soggy.
