Tulip in Argentina: plant from 12 December to the end of June; the window opens earliest in Bariloche and closes latest in Río Gallegos (3 cities).
From a month before the first autumn frost, so the roots grow before winter, to the late-planting limit on each crop’s page (about two weeks before the ground freezes, by ten years of weather).
