☀️ Planting & Care

Plant tulip bulbs in fall once temperatures consistently cool (daytime highs in the 60s°F or lower). Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-draining soil.

• Depth: Plant 4–6" deep, pointy side up
• Spacing: 4–6" apart
• Sunlight: Full Sun to Partial Shade
• Soil: Well-draining soil; amend with compost or organic matter
• Water: Water after planting and during dry spring spells; avoid waterlogged conditions
• Fertilizer: Apply your Free Fertilizer Boost at planting and again as leaves emerge in spring
• After Blooming: Remove spent flowers, but allow foliage to yellow naturally to replenish bulbs

Cold Requirement: Darwin Hybrids need 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) for proper bud formation, making them an excellent choice for colder growing zones.
