#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tulip bulbs grow best in full to partial sun, and in a well-drained location, as they do not like soggy soil so water newly planted bulbs very well, but then only water as needed. Once established, you will only need to provide supplemental water if it gets dry that fall, or during summers when you have extensive heat and drought. Top-dress with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to consistently hold in soil moisture and insulate the perennial bulbs.
Deadhead the flower heads once they fade but let the foliage remain to make food for the bulbs. Trim away the leaves and remove them from the area once they turn yellow. Apply an early spring application of bulb fertilizer.
Tips on Planting Tulip Bulbs
Plant Tulip Bulbs in the fall about 6 to 8 weeks before a hard freeze (or anytime in the autumn when the ground is still workable.). Place the perennial bulbs in a hole with the pointy end upward and at least 8 inches deep (about 3x the length of the bulb), spaced about 4-6 inches apart.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade Outdoors & Indirect Sun Indoors
- Needs Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune After Foliage Yellows
- Fall-Planted Perennial Spring Flowering Bulbs
Brilliant confectionary color combination, the Candy Striper Tulip Blend is a candy apple-colored blend of four Tulip varieties! Order yours today and NatureHills.com will hold your perennial bulbs until the proper fall planting time for your growing zone!
