We gardeners all like to get jobs done at the right time, but it isn’t always possible. This may lead many to ponder ‘Can I plant tulips in December?’ as they stare at neglected bags of tulip bulbs they haven’t got round to planting, or admire new packets of dazzling varieties they haven’t tried that are still on sale in garden centres.
If you are running that debate about when to plant tulips through your mind, then rest assured that it is not too late. Tulips are pretty merciful bulbs; you can plant them in December and still get a display of blooms in spring.
