Planting Growing Instructions
The music is hard to ignore when the primary colors of these two Perennial Tulips start to play. Stop-sign red blossoms of our Red Perennial Tulip mark time with the equally large, buttery Yellow Perennial Tulip. On sunny days they open wide to reveal black centers with pencil-thin outlines of yellow or red.
Plant tulips 5" apart and 6" to 7" deep at the base. Deeper planting depths are better in colder regions. Position the bulbs with the pointy end facing up.
After planting, water well once, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the roots. Roots will form in the autumn. Foliage and flowers will develop in the spring.
When in bloom, feel free to cut tulips for striking bouquets.
After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulb for the future. Water as needed during active growth periods; about 1" of moisture per week is a good estimate.
