Darwin Hybrid Tulip

Light

Full sun to half day of sun.

Water

Water after planting in fall. Spring rain usually covers the rest.

Planting and soil

Fall, once soil cools (September to November, or December in the South). 6–8 in. deep. Pre-chill in warm zones.

Feeding

Bulb fertilizer at planting and as shoots appear.

Pruning

Snap off spent flowers. Leave foliage until it yellows, about six weeks.

Through the year

Plant in fall. Shoots in early spring. Blooms mid spring. Foliage fades by early summer.

If something's off

Deer, squirrels and voles eat tulips; plant with crushed gravel or in cages. Bulbs rot in wet soil. All parts are toxic to pets.

Big pink tulips on strong stems.

Large, rounded pink tulips on stems about two feet tall, in mid spring. Darwin hybrids are the sturdiest tulips for wind and rain, and they come back better than most. They also last in a vase.

Why we stock it: A sweep of clear pink that holds up to spring weather and returns for a few years.
