GreenlyWhen to plant tulips in Chile: 15 December – end of June
Tulip in Chile: plant from 15 December to the end of June; the window opens earliest in Coyhaique and closes latest in Punta Arenas (2 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).
