3. Partial Shade
Tulips prefer being planted in at least partial shade, and while they should be getting at least half a day’s worth of sunlight, they should be getting equal amounts of proper shade or you won’t get nearly as much out of the plant as you’d like.
Most people choose to plant tulips directly in their gardens, but there are also many people who instead plant tulips in pots. This doesn’t make any difference to their lighting requirements, although it can make plants easier to move towards partial shade in hotter places when they’re planted in pots rather than directly in the ground.
Shade netting can go far in areas where you want to protect your tulips from exposure to harsh windy climates, or in places where tulips are getting more sunlight than they should.
Plan your garden adequately so that you know which areas get the most sunlight versus which ones are perfect for tulips.
