Plant Tulips between your Perennial plants. They add early spring color to your borders and the foliage of the Perennial plants hide the brown Tulip foliage when they die back after flowering.

Fertilize Tulips as soon as the sprouts are breaking through the top soil with a general compound fertilizer for border plants.

Find a location for your Hosta that will provide some shelter against strong winds as it can split the leaves or scorch the edges.
