Key Planting Tips

Plant in full sun, 4-6” inches deep with the tip pointing up. Space each bulb 4-6” apart. They will tolerate some shade.

Tulips have everything they need to get started, but you can place a teaspoon of bone meal in the soil before planting and use a low nitrogen fertilizer when the first leaves appear in Spring.

Our bulbs will ship to you in mid September to mid October. Check out all of our tulip offerings at Tulips (fireflyfarmandmercantile.com)
