I think any time in November is ideal as you are planting them in pots......having said that I planted mine three days ago. Always put in a little deeper than suggested. The bulbs and are amazing in April/May as we all know.

I agree, November but believe Dec is not too late.

Thanks. Make sense as Nov is between Oct and Dec!! Thanks. Will get planting. Am planning to fill up dolly tub with a lovely mix of tulips!

Now!

I normally plant them in first 2 weeks of November. The soil needs to cool down before planting tulips, otherwise if you plant them in warm damp soil there is a danger of them rotting before the bulbs put out roots. As it's still exceptionally mild, I'd wait a bit before colder weather is forecast.

Your question did make me giggle... dutch with a pic of a bulbfield on your profile asking question on planting bulbs ;-)) Must say that i wouldnt have been too sure either n i am from tulpenland. Succes ermee.
