Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Cannonball' tulip bulbs in fall, approximately 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade across USDA zones 3-8, making them adaptable for various climate conditions. Blooming in late spring when many other tulips have finished, they extend the seasonal color display. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to ensure energy storage for next year's blooms.
