Tulip 'Winsome Wildings Mix' (30 Pack) Plant Bulbs for Gardening

Tulips are relatively easy to grow, but they thrive in specific conditions. To ensure your tulips flourish, consider the following planting guidelines:

WHERE TO PLANT Tulips require plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil. Avoid areas that accumulate puddles of water for more than 5-6 hours after heavy rain. If your soil doesn't drain well, consider amending it with organic material to raise the level by 2-3 inches.

In zones 7 or 8, be mindful of excessive heat, such as planting near a south-facing wall or fence, as this can be detrimental to your tulips. Instead, choose a spot that receives full or partial sun and offers shelter from the wind, particularly for taller varieties.

Spacing is also important - plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches apart to allow for proper growth and development.

HOW TO PLANT The optimal time to plant tulip bulbs is in the fall, 6 to 8 weeks before a hard frost is expected. In colder climates, September or October is best, while in warmer regions, you can plant as late as December or even later.

For outdoor planting, select a well-draining location that will provide your tulips with full sun to light shade. Dig holes and plant the bulbs 5 inches apart and 6 to 7 inches deep, with the pointed end facing upwards.

For container planting, use high-quality, well-drained soil and plant the bulbs 4 inches apart and 6 to 7 inches deep, again with the pointed end facing up. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the bulbs without leaving any air pockets.

HOW TO GROW During active growth periods, water your tulips as needed, providing approximately 1 inch of moisture per week. After the blooming season, leave the foliage in place to allow photosynthesis, which will strengthen the bulbs for the next growing cycle.

When the leaves turn yellow and die back, typically around early summer, remove the dry foliage to give your tulips a clean slate before the next growing season. Allow the soil to dry out when the leaves are absent and the bulbs are dormant.
