Growing Tulip Breeders Blend Bulbs

Plant bulbs in fall at a depth of 4 to 5 inches and space them 4 to 5 inches apart. Choose a sunny, well-drained site to prevent rot and support healthy roots, ensuring 12 to 16 weeks of winter chill for spring blooms.

Climate and Soil Requirements

This blend prefers cool winters and fertile, loose soil. Improve drainage in clay-heavy beds by incorporating compost or sand.

Sunlight and Watering

Provide full sun and water after planting, keeping soil moist during spring growth. Reduce watering after blooming as foliage yellows.

Care and Maintenance

Deadhead blooms to conserve energy and let foliage die back naturally. Apply compost in fall and protect from deer with barriers or companion plants.
