Spring is on the horizon and it is almost time for one of my favorite flowers to bloom, the Tulip. Tulips are perennial bulbs that will grow in full sun or partial shade. Once they emerge they can be enjoyed in the garden or used in cut floral arrangements. When I grow tulips, I select well drained soil then plant the bulbs six inches deep with the bulb tips facing up. The bulbs should be about six inches apart. Make sure to keep the area weed free and protected from frost by utilizing a layer of mulch in cold winter climates. Cheers
