Planting and Growing Information
Plant Red Emperor tulip bulbs in fall, approximately 6-8 inches deep and 6 inches apart (6 bulbs per square foot) in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun but tolerate partial shade, making them adaptable to various landscape situations. Hardy in zones 3-8, these tulips bloom in early to mid-spring, typically mid-April. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy returns to the bulb for next season's display.
