Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of double peony tulip bulbs begins with proper planting and ongoing care. For optimal growth and vibrant blooms, select a site that receives full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Well-drained, fertile, sandy or loamy soil is crucial to prevent rot. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost to improve drainage. Plant the bulbs in the fall, about 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart, with the pointed end facing upwards. A good rule of thumb for planting depth is generally two to three times the height of the bulb.

Moderate watering is essential, especially during active growth in spring. Keep the soil slightly moist but never waterlogged. Once the foliage begins to yellow and die back after flowering, reduce watering significantly as the bulbs enter dormancy. These perennial flower bulbs thrive in temperatures between 45°F and 60°F during their active growth period. They are hardy in USDA zones 3-8, requiring a cold dormancy period to ensure proper blooming. Fertilize lightly in early spring when sprouts emerge with a balanced granular fertilizer. After blooming, allow the foliage to completely die back naturally before removing it; this allows the bulb to store energy for the following year’s blooms. Protecting the bulbs from pests like squirrels and voles can be done with wire cages or repellents.
