Planting and Growing Information

Plant Akebono tulips in fall, at least one month before ground freeze, for mid to late spring blooms (mid-April to early May). They thrive in full sun but tolerate partial shade, preferring well-drained soil. Plant bulbs 5 inches deep and 5 inches apart (approximately 6 bulbs per square foot). Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, these tulips naturalize well in suitable conditions, returning for multiple seasons with minimal care. Apply bulb-specific fertilizer at planting time and again when shoots emerge.
