Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Honky Tonk' bulbs in fall, approximately 3 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained soil. This versatile tulip thrives in full sun to partial shade locations. Early to mid-spring flowering can be expected, bringing welcome color after winter. After blooming, allow foliage to wither naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's display.
