Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Mount Tacoma Double Late Tulip bulbs is straightforward, ensuring a bountiful display of their beautiful white blooms. For optimal growth, choose a location with full sun to partial shade, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal. While they appreciate sunlight, some afternoon shade in hotter climates can help prolong their bloom time. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil, as tulips are susceptible to rot in waterlogged conditions. A sandy loam soil enriched with organic matter is ideal for these robust garden tulip varieties.

Plant the double late tulip bulbs in the fall, typically 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart, with the pointed end facing upwards. Adequate spacing allows for good air circulation and prevents overcrowding. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. During their active growth period in spring, ensure consistent moisture, especially if rainfall is scarce, but avoid overwatering. Once the foliage begins to yellow and die back after flowering, reduce watering. Fertilize in early spring when shoots emerge with a balanced granular fertilizer to support vigorous growth and blooming. These Mount Tacoma Double Late Tulip bulbs are suitable for USDA zones 3-8. After blooming, allow the foliage to completely die back naturally before removing it, as this process allows the bulb to store energy for the following year’s blooms. They are not suitable for indoor culture, making them perfect for outdoor displays.
