Plant Care & Growing Tips

Ensuring the success of your double tulip bulbs is straightforward with proper planting and care. These resilient flowers prefer a location with ample sunlight. Plant your bulbs in an area that receives at least 6 hours of full sun daily. Good drainage is crucial, as tulips do not tolerate soggy soil. If your soil is heavy clay, amend it with organic matter like compost or sand to improve drainage.

Planting should occur in the fall, typically when night temperatures consistently stay between 40-50°F (4-10°C), before the ground freezes. Dig holes approximately 6-8 inches deep (or three times the height of the bulb) and space the bulbs 4-6 inches apart. Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil around the bulbs. Fertilization is generally not necessary at planting time if your soil is healthy, but a balanced slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring as new shoots emerge. Protect newly planted areas from pests like squirrels if they are a known issue in your area. These spring flowering bulbs will bring joy year after year with minimal effort.
