Growing Tips:

Planting: Plant tulip bulbs in the fall, ideally 6–8 weeks before your area's first expected frost, allowing them to establish roots before the ground freezes.

Location: Choose a sunny spot for maximum bloom potential. Tulips thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, though they may have fewer blooms.

Watering: After planting, water well to settle the soil around the bulbs. Once tulips emerge, maintain even moisture but avoid waterlogging the soil.
