Planting & Care

Plant in well-draining soil with the pointed end up. In warmer climates, plant bulbs 10+ inches deep to strengthen stems and reduce toppling. Group 5 or more for the best visual impact. Alternate with early and mid-season tulips for color throughout the entire spring season. After blooming, allow foliage to die back naturally before removing.
