How to grow Tulips

Classic tulips are an elegant addition to every landscape. Combine several varieties of tulips to extend the flowering period and watch many different colors fill your garden bedding. Tulips are fertile, vigorous, and fragrant, and provide your garden with beautiful green foliage combined with your favorite chosen color. As the earth awakens from its winter sleep, the first tulips show their faces to brighten up your day.

  • Plant tulip flower bulbs in fall, before the ground freezes. Plant tulip flower bulbs with different bloom periods to extend the flowering season.
  • Tulips prefer a site with full or afternoon sun. So choose a full sun to partial shade spot in the garden.
  • The soil must be well-drained, neutral, to average moist. Tulips dislike areas with excessive moisture.
  • Prepare the ground by mixing the soil with organic compost or other fertilizers.
  • Too much water causes death to tulips, so never overwater tulips too often. Only in drought, water daily, but make sure the soil never gets soggy.
  • Deadhead tulips as soon as they go by, but leave the leaves, to stimulate growth next season.
