Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Parade Tulip bulbs is relatively straightforward, ensuring a magnificent display each spring. For best results, plant these bulk tulip bulbs in the fall, approximately 6–8 weeks before the ground is expected to freeze. Choose a location that receives full sun for the strongest blooms, though they can tolerate partial shade. The soil should be fertile and, critically, well-draining to prevent bulb rot. Avoid areas where water tends to collect.

When planting, dig holes 6–8 inches deep and space the bulbs 4–6 inches apart, ensuring the pointed side faces upwards. After placing the bulbs, cover them with soil, gently press to remove any air pockets, and water thoroughly. Applying a layer of mulch over the planting area in winter will help insulate the bulbs from extreme cold. Remember to remove this mulch in spring as new shoots begin to emerge. During their active growth period, Tulipa Triumph requires moist soil, but prefers drier conditions once dormant. After blooming, deadhead the spent flowers to prevent seed formation, but allow the foliage to die back naturally. This crucial step allows the leaves to nourish the bulbs for the following year’s blooms, ensuring a continuous display of red tulip flowers.

These tulips are hardy in USDA zones 3–8, making them suitable for a wide range of climates. They reach a height of 18–22 inches, with an upright habit that is ideal for cutting gardens. While somewhat resistant to deer and rabbits, it’s always wise to consider additional protection methods if these pests are prevalent in your area. Proper care will ensure your Parade Tulip bulbs thrive and return to grace your garden with their vibrant presence.
