Planting and Growing Information

Plant 'Backpacker' bulbs in fall, approximately 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. This adaptable tulip thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs well in USDA hardiness zones 3-8. Flowering in late spring alongside cherry and apple blossoms, 'Backpacker' extends the tulip season with its long-lasting blooms. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure strong returns in subsequent seasons.
