Water
Water after planting. Spring rain usually covers the rest.
Planting and soil
Plant in fall once soil cools, before the ground freezes. 6–8 in. deep.
Feeding
Bulb food at planting and as shoots emerge.
Pruning
Snap off spent flowers. Leave the leaves until they yellow.
Through the year
Shoots in early spring, flowers on schedule, foliage gone by early summer.
If something's off
Squirrels dig fresh bulbs; lay chicken wire over the bed. Bulbs rot in wet soil. All parts are toxic to pets.
Why we stock it: Tulips that return, with stems long enough to cut.
