Non-Stop Purple Tulip Blend

The Non-Stop Purple Tulip Blend (Tulipa 'Purple Prince', Tulipa 'Purple Pride', Tulipa 'Negrita', Tulipa 'Purple Lady') brings all your favorite shades of purple and lavender to your garden beds and borders while enlivening your spring in luscious color! They are perfect for bouquets, so include a few in your cutting gardens!

This mixture of four fantastic Tulip varieties includes the pretty violet-toned Purple Prince Tulip, the rosy-purple Purple Pride Tulip, the Negrita dark violet Triumph Tulip, and the dark purple Purple Lady! All of which bloom throughout the early to late spring weeks. This luscious blend of purple hues brings in the butterflies and fills your spring bouquets! You don't have to wait or share them with your pollinators by forcing Tulip bulbs in the winter for blooms indoors.

Forming on tall, sturdy stems 16-24 inches tall, these Tulips are backed by upright clumps of soft green foliage, that create vase-shaped clumps that naturalize throughout the sun garden. Perennial bulbs like Tulips are fall-planted spring ephemeral blooms that are wonderfully easy to grow.

Planting and Application:

This breath of fresh spring air is wonderfully fragrant and looks (and smells) great when planted in your Cutting garden for beautiful bouquets, in your porch and patio containers by your seating areas, and when forced indoors for a break from the winter blues! A forced collection in a shallow dish or bouquet will look great on the holiday table this year!

Easter Basket Tulip Mix brings jelly bean colors to your spring garden beds, filling Cottage Gardens, and Rock Gardens with fresh color, and happily rambling through mixed shrub and mixed perennial borders where the blooms shine all spring, then gladly bask in the shade provided by the later emerging foliage of their larger landscape companions.

Use Easter Basket Tulip Mix along a long border, or surround a playhouse or She-Shed with them. These cheerful colors really pop after the long, dull winter. Try planting bulbs in the fall with your kids and grandkids. What a cool lesson in the wonder of nature, and you'll enjoy gathering more than eggs this spring!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Perennial Tulip bulbs grow best in full to partial sun, and in a well-drained location, as they do not like wet soil. Water newly planted bulbs very well, but after, 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
