Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age

Dreamtouch Tulip (Tulipa 'Dreamtouch') is a true showstopper. Planting these will turn your garden into an absolute dream and make the neighbors wonder how to get some of their own! Dreamtouch Tulip is no different. With an impressive number of deep pink petals fringed in white at the tips, this plant makes for a beautiful centerpiece to any garden.
Just as the name implies, these Tulips seem to emulate Peonies and their massive number of petals per flower. Sweetly scented, the silky petals gleam in the sun and attract bees, butterflies, and the occasional curious Hummingbird! Plant a few extra so your vases won't feel jealous.
Tulips are perennial spring-flowering bulbs that are tough, cold-hardy, and lovely in the home or garden! Use Dream Touch in planters and containers, or forced indoors for winter décor, floral bouquets, showy early spring color, or all of the above! With large and long-lasting flowers, it appreciates being planted somewhere with a bit of protection from winds and rain.
Planting and Application:
Dreamtouch Tulips are excellent cut flowers when cut early, so make sure to bring some flowers inside so you can continue marveling at them! These full and flirty blooms look fantastic in containers in large potted groupings or as specimen thrillers, highlighted under a cloche after being forced in the winter, or as a single accent in a fancy urn surrounded by moss.
Tulips have lovely broad foliage that looks great among other bulbs, perennials, and even larger shrubs. The foliage appreciates the later emerging leaves of their larger garden neighbors once the summer sun kicks in. Use as edging along garden beds and borders long after the flowers fade. Add interest to Perennial gardens and add drama to Cottage gardens in grace while forming tidy clumps and drifts of elegant color that feed the bees and butterflies. Plant them in groupings to maximize their glorious blooms!
- Majestic Deep Pink Flowers With Soft White Edges
- Blooms Later than Other Tulips
- Large Double Flowers
- Low Maintenance Green Foliage Clumps
- Fall-Planted, Early Spring-Flowering Perennial
- Early Spring Color, Beds & Borders, Containers & Cut Flowers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Bulbs require full sun and well-drained soil to do their best. Appreciating afternoon shade in warmer hardiness zones where the sun is intense. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy. Plant in the soil with pointed ends up 3 times as deep as the bulbs are tall. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. Provide moderate moisture during drought and deadhead after flowers fade. But keep the leaves so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Not only is it strong, but it also has incredible endurance. Its blooms endure through spring showers and days of sunshine. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs.
- Full Sun For Strongest Stems & Growth
- Moderately Moist Well-Drained Soil
- Deadhead After Bloom, Prune to Ground When Leaves Yellow
- Very Cold Hardy
- Deer & Rodent Resistant
