Unlike most plants, Tulip bulbs are planted in the Fall.

They probably won't live outside if they were forced to bloom in the spring.

  Maybe not. "However, bulbs that have been forced into bloom out of season, especially tulips, may never perform satisfactorily in the garden. It is generally recommended that you discard such forced spring-blooming bulbs. Many hybrid tulips only bloom well the first year. The second year bloom might be tolerable, and in subsequent years, you may only get foliage and no flowers. When you see spectacular tulip displays at public gardens, it is because they are treated like annuals and new bulbs planted every fall." from the article I posted. Did you read it?

Hello. You can plant them any time. I plant mine early and them come up the next spring just fine.

if you live in a location where the danger of frost has passed, dig a hole twice the size of the pot, place the entire plant with the foliage in the ground.
