Planting and Growing Information
Columbus tulips perform best when planted in fall before the first frost. They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun to partial shade locations across USDA hardiness zones 3-8. Plant bulbs 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart to allow proper development. These early to mid-spring bloomers pair beautifully with spring perennials and can be naturalized in appropriate settings. Water thoroughly after planting to establish root systems before winter dormancy.
