ALL ABOUT TULIPS
Tulips are colorful, timeless flowers that are easy to grow. Simply plant the bulbs in fall for beautiful blooms in spring. Available in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and bloom times, tulips can inspire any gardener's creativity. They can be grown in flowerbeds, borders, containers, or cutting gardens, making for an impressive display in any setting.
ENTRYWAYS & BORDERS: Enhance your garden with early-blooming Tulip Parrot. Ideal for borders, flower beds, and mass plantings, these big, white parrot tulips are sure to impress.
PLANTING IS AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3
1. Dig a hole 6' deep.
2. Set the tulip bulb pointy side up in the soil.
3. Cover the bulb with soil and water only if the soil is very dry.
PLANTING TIPS
Planting tulips side by side in a single row makes them look stiff and unnatural. Tulips look best when they are planted in informal groups of 5 or more bulbs. Rectangular, triangular or oval patterns (as shown in the photo at left) will make the planting look as full as possible and ensure the flowers are visible from all angles.
For best results, tulips should be planted in well-drained soil. Peat moss or compost can be added to improve drainage. Tulip bulbs should be planted pointy side up. If you are unsure which end should face up, plant the bulbs on their sides. Once the bulb starts growing, the plant will find its way to the sun.
CUT FLOWER GARDENS: Enhance your floral arrangements with Tulip Parrot - perfect for home decor or as a lovely gift. Varieties include single, double, fringed, and lily-flowered blooms for a stunning cutting garden display.
CURB APPEAL: Add color to your home's exterior with Tulip Parrots and enjoy a variety of vibrant blooms from Big Tulips. Consider using Darwin Hybrid tulip bulbs in containers and window boxes for a beautiful display in the spring. Greigii and double early tulips are ideal for containers.
COMPANION PLANTS FOR TULIPS
Enhance your spring display by pairing Tulip Parrot with other blooming bulbs like hyacinths, daffodils, and crocus. Under-plant with anemone blanda or muscari, or early spring annuals for a colorful carpet effect. Fill in flower beds with Primroses, dicentra, hosta, pulmonaria, and other spring-blooming perennials once Tulip Parrot has finished blooming.
Outdoor Beds
Find a location where the soil drains well. If there are still puddles of water 5-6 hours after a hard rain, scout out another site. Or amend the soil with the addition of organic material to raise the level 2 - 3 inches to improve the drainage. Peat moss, compost, ground bark or decomposed manure all work well and are widely available.
Plant your tulips where they will get full sun to light shade. Keep in mind that for tulips to return in subsequent springs they will need a period of winter cooling. This happens easily in northern areas and will occur to the cooler parts of zone 8. (Some bulb sellers suggest that tulips will return after growing the year round warmth of zone 9. Sadly, it's just wishful thinking.)
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.
By the early summer the leaves will yellow and die back. The dried foliage may be removed at this point. Your bulbs will rest until next spring when they'll beginning the next growing cycle. When leaves are absent and the bulbs are dormant, withhold water.
Containers: Pots, Barrels, Tubs & Urns
Start with containers of good quality, well-drained soil. Tulips that sit in water logged soil will rot. Shorter varieties usually perform better in all but the largest containers.
