Planting Advice

Tulips perform best in full sun to partial shade
Plant tulips when temperatures have cooled in your area in fall. Once your daytime temperatures are in the 60’s or lower consistently, this is a good time to plant your tulips.
Tulips require 12-16 weeks of consistent temperatures below 50 degrees in winter in order to produce a flower bud; tulips are best suited to cold climates.
Adequate drainage is essential to the health of your tulips. Amend your soil with top soil and organic matter such as compost, manure, leaf mold or peat moss prior to planting. After you have amended your soil, it should be light and easy to work with.
Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 3” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
Tulips should be planted at least 6-8” deep with the pointed side of the tulip facing towards the sky. Dig the planting hole 12” deep so you can add fertilizer to the bottom of the hole. After adding fertilizer back fill with 3-4” of soil, plant your bulbs, then back fill with remaining soil.
Space tulips 4-6” apart when planting individual bulbs. For mass planting and brilliant bursts of color in the garden, plant the bulbs 2-3” apart in bouquet planting groups, trenches and garden beds.
Immediately after planting, water the tulip planting area. This helps to eliminate air pockets in the soil. After the initial planting, it is not necessary to provide any supplemental water to the area. In spring once the tulips have emerged you may water as necessary, although spring rains often make providing additional water unnecessary.
Apply a layer a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

These were gotten by mistake when
I ordered flaming purrisima but they are lovely and best of all they have come back year after year and I have more now than I originally planted.

These open wide and are very beautiful. They seem a bit yellow until you see actual yellow next to them and then you can tell they're white. The inside is dark and vibrant. They are much shorter than I was expecting so they are petite cuties!

Though it starts out creamy, this tulip ages to one of the clearest whites in the garden, with just a hint of yellow at the base for contrast. Lovely.

Not white as advertised

I planted these bulbs in the fall of 2019. The tulips have come up wonderfully two years in a row. They are the first of my tulips to bloom as they are an early spring tulip. The only reason I don't give these a 5 star rating is because they are not a true white flower, but instead are a light yellow with a darker yellow near the stem.
