step 1: choose a site - select a sunny location for planting the tulips and make sure there is sufficient drainage. 
step 2: prepare the soil - remove any large stones from the soil and work in some well-rotted compost. 
step 3: plant the bulbs - plant the bulbs 5-8 inches deep and spaced about 5 inches apart. 
step 4: water well - water the area thoroughly and make sure to keep the soil evenly moist until the foliage of the tulips appears. 
step 5: feed and mulch - after the foliage appears it is a good idea to fertilize the flower beds with a balanced fertilizer and mulch the area with a two-inch layer of compost or straw to conserve moisture.
