Key Characteristics and Benefits of Growing Double Late Tulips
- Striking Double Blooms: Peony-style form delivers texture and elegance to beds and bouquets.
- Vivid Sunset Hues: Fiery tones of yellow, orange, and red bring warmth and color saturation to garden beds.
- Late Season Impact: Blooms in April through May when many tulips have already faded.
- Compact Garden Favorite: Ideal for containers, borders, and layered planting designs.
- Excellent Cut Flower: Full heads and strong stems make them prized by floral designers.
Growing Tulip Double Late Sunlover Bulbs
Plant in fall, 5 inches deep and 4 to 5 inches apart, in a sunny, well-draining location. For best results, bulbs should be in the ground at least 6–8 weeks before the first hard frost.
Climate and Soil Requirements
This variety thrives in USDA Zones 3–7 with full sun to partial shade and loose, well-drained soil. In Zones 8 and warmer, bulbs must be pre-chilled before planting—learn how with our guide on How to Vernalize Tulips and Other Fall-Planted Flower Bulbs in Zones 8 and Above.
Sunlight and Watering
Water after planting and keep soil evenly moist during active growth in spring. Avoid overwatering or soggy conditions to prevent bulb rot.
Care and Maintenance
Deadhead flowers once faded and let the foliage die back naturally. Apply compost in the fall to enrich soil and support future blooms.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
