Growing Tulip Jellyfish Blend Bulbs

Plant this fall-planted tulip bulb blend in well-draining soil 5 inches deep and 4–5 inches apart. Choose a site with full to partial sun and ensure planting takes place at least 6 weeks before the ground freezes to allow root development. These tulips are cold-hardy and benefit from fall mulching in colder zones.

Climate and Soil Requirements

Ideal for USDA Zones 2–8, the Jellyfish Blend prefers sandy or loamy, well-drained soils. Avoid waterlogged areas to reduce the risk of bulb rot.

Sunlight and Watering

Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil evenly moist during the bloom period. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to restore energy to the bulb for the next season.

Care and Maintenance

Deadhead spent blooms to redirect energy into the bulb. Use physical deterrents if deer browsing is common in your area. In zones with mild winters, chilling bulbs before planting may improve performance.
