- 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

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tulip bulbs require full sun and well-drained soil. Appreciating partial shade in warmer hardiness zones where the sun is intense. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. They need well-drained soil with full sun to partial sun. Hyacinthus bulbs need to be planted in the fall before a hard frost in your growing zone. In colder regions, plant 6 inches deep to keep them safe over winter.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderately Moist Well-Drained Soil
- Deadhead After Bloom & Clean Mound When Leaves Yellow
