Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Tinka' bulbs in fall, placing them 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained soil. These tulips thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer locations that remain relatively dry during summer dormancy. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, they perform exceptionally well in rocky, arid conditions similar to their native habitat. For best naturalization results, avoid overwatering during dormant periods and ensure excellent drainage year-round.
