Recived the box it perfect shape in good timing. Every bulb was big and healthy. Planted all 500 in a big drift cant wait to see what they look like in the spring!
I planted these in fall 2020 and packed them in closer than recommended. Spring 2021 came around with amazing blooms for at least 6 weeks that my wife loved and even served as the backdrop for a bunch of professional pictures. My landscaper advised against gambling on them being perennials so I wouldn't disappoint my wife in spring 2022. I bought again and, sure enough, during planting this fall I found maybe a dozen bulbs across the 2 beds they were in. Maybe it was my spacing, but we like how they look blooming so close together. All that said, I'll keep getting them and doing the work each fall because of the value.
I planted these in late December/early January and they started appearing by early February. We had a freeze followed by unusually warm weather so I think the tulips were a little confused on timing. They bloomed for a solid three weeks. They put on a gorgeous show and prompted tons of compliments from neighbors. It's so fun to watch them poke out of the ground and to try to predict when they'll bloom.
These came up well the first year and returned the second, but between the ducks and the deer I haven't seen any recently.
I'm so happy with this mix. I think almost all of them came up, and they have been a beautiful mix with different bloom times over the course of the last 5 weeks. The first ones to bloom were yellow, then some pale and medium pinks, then dark reds, and the last to bloom were some tall orange ones with pointed petals.
