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
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Freshly buttered and fluffy, the Popcorn Tulip (Tulipa 'Popcorn') is a dazzling creamy white bloom with ruffled, frilly, random petals that curve and twist into flouncy, blousy dollops with buttery yellow centers! The bright green foliage compliments the unique double blooms as they wave on their elegant, slender stems!
The silky, satiny white blooms are must-haves for the cut flower garden so you can enjoy incredible floral arrangements that are cheerful and extravagant! Forming vase-shaped clumps that gradually multiply and naturalize into tidy clumps that just add to their delight from one year to another!
Popcorn Tulips are cold-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 - 8 and grows quickly to a 12-inch height and similar width. Blooming in the mid-spring, these perennial flowering bulbs attract their fair share of butterflies, and bees will love these sweetly fragrant flowers, and feel like they've entered a whimsical fairy house!
Planting and Application:
The Popcorn Tulip adds romantic blossoms to your seating area gardens and planters! Perfect in rows as edging, grouped in clusters, or in drifts for a magnificent mass display! Tulips multiply politely, so are an excellent selection for naturalizing throughout your porch and patio planters as the feature planting or mixed among other spring plants!
Perennial and mixed-bulb gardens, Cottage gardens, and Rock Gardens all benefit from these flouncy spring blooms! Tuck a few into your Children's gardens where they too can enjoy these unique and fun flowers! They are must-haves for early emerging pollinator gardens and your Cut Flower border!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tulips do best bathed in sunshine and rival the sun's radiance! Tulip Bulbs appreciate 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 ground with pointed ends up 3 times as deep as the bulbs are tall. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. Deadhead after flowers fade, but let the leaves remain so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers!
- Full Sun For Strongest Growth
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Mounds After Leaves Yellow
- Deer Seldom Bother Them
Romantic and whimsical, pure white and buttery yellow, the Popcorn Double Tulip will dance throughout your spring gardens this year, but only if you order soon from Nature Hills! Nature Hills will ship your bulbs based on the correct planting time for your growing zone!
