just leave them in the ground and they will pop up in spring, don't worry they r fine
Reply:You actually plant tulips and other bulbs in the Fall if you expect them to come up in the Spring.
Reply:I hope you protected them from gophers, I had to put cages around mine or they would disappear after 1 year. If they bunch up after a few years you will want to dig them up in the fall, separate them and replant them.
Reply:Tulips are planted in the fall,now and in November,so they come up in the spring,put bone meal in the soil as you plant them then forget about them,they will be ok even in Colorado,oh and use a bulb planter to get the depth right.
