Excellent blooms! These are best fall planted but I planted them late (January) and they bloomed in March! (I live in Charlotte, NC for reference) I was pleasantly surprised. Squirrels were quick to destroy some sprouting tulips however they will be okay as the bulb and roots were safe. I would like more black and purple tulips as out of the pack I’ve only seen two sprout thus far. The colors are absolutely wonderful and fresh. Some bulbs looked awful when they arrived but they grow fast and healthy. I will definitely be purchasing flowers from HBF again.
