Planting and Growing Information
Plant Tulipa Tarda bulbs in fall, approximately 4 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in well-drained soil. They perform beautifully in USDA hardiness zones 3-8, making them suitable for most North American landscapes. Expect these early to mid-spring bloomers to reach about 5 inches in height, with their distinctive white-edged yellow flowers opening wide on sunny days. Their naturalizing tendency means they'll establish permanent colonies when left undisturbed in suitable locations.
