Planting and Growing Guide
Plant 'Lilac Wonder' bulbs in fall, from September through November, at a depth of 3-4 inches and spaced 2-4 inches apart. These adaptable tulips thrive in well-drained soil in USDA hardiness zones 3-8, preferring full sun but tolerating partial shade. After blooming in mid to late spring (April-May), allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for next season's display. Their minimal water requirements make them perfect for low-maintenance garden areas.
