Planting & Care

Tips on Growing Fall Planted Flower Bulbs

When you receive your fall bulbs (tulips, daffodils, etc.) keep them in a dry, dark, cool place until ready to plant. They need air circulation so they will not collect moisture and rot. Planting times can vary from early October in the North to mid-to-late November in the southern regions. A good rule of thumb is to plant them about 6 weeks before the ground is frozen or after the first hard freeze.

Soil Preparation for Bulbs

A compost enriched, well-drained soil is best. Incorporate a good quality organic compost as needed. Yum Yum Mix® is recommended as an excellent source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium needed for strong plants and healthy roots. Mix a small amount into the bottom of the hole before planting your bulbs.

Many bulbs prefer full sun exposure. However, Muscaria, Allium, Galanthus, Hyacinthoides, Scilla and many Daffodils will tolerate partial shade and bloom well.
Pink daffodils will hold their color longer if planted in dappled shade or morning sun/afternoon shade.

After planting, add a top dressing of compost or other organic material and water in thoroughly. If your winter is dry, water every three to four weeks throughout the winter and add more mulch if necessary.

Protect your Bulbs

Apply a mole or gopher repellent to the surface of the ground to protect bulbs from these burrowing mammals.

After your Bulbs have Bloomed

Once your bulbs have bloomed, allow the bulb foliage to brown and fade naturally since the leaves are feeding the bulb in the ground. Removal of foliage weakens the bulb and leads to fewer blooms the following year. Planting your bulbs amongst your perennials is one way to conceal the dying bulb foliage. The perennials begin to grow and fill out as the bulb foliage dies back. The perennials will then provide foliage and color in the garden from late spring through the summer and into fall. Regular fertilization with balanced organic or natural fertilizer and a re-application of mulch each fall will ensure more and more beautiful spring bulb blooms for many years!

Beautiful and unique tulips

"Wildflower tulips are the best, and these are the most interesting ones in my collection. The orange and green color combo is striking and exactly what I was hoping for. Heathy and happy in Colorado, Zone 5b!"

— Disgruntled G. (5/5)

Didn't grow

"Really disappointed. Worked hard last fall to plant a whole bunch of stuff. These along with an iris I got didn't grow. Now I'm held back with mulching etc. since I have to replant things where I had them at. I dug up to see if I could see any signs of something growing since it's almost Memorial Day (zone 5) and nothing. Didn't even see a single bulb that I had planted for these. I really liked the way that these looked. Too bad, I will probably buy actual grown plants to put there now. I can't wait another 6 months to plant more bulbs then wait another 6 months to see if they even grew again…I wish this place sold actual plants instead of just the bulbs…."

Bloomed beautifully in a colony of color.

"Just bloomed today, 4/20/23, just in time for the review. Beautiful little orange faces! Wildflower tulips are so diff and delicate. Like them better than their tall cupped tulip cousins. Plant these wildflower bulbs in tight groups forming a colony of color. Wonderful!"

— Bon B. (5/5)

The pictures do not do them justice.

"I just bought these last Fall and they are now blooming, They are beautiful and larger than I expected. They are much prettier in person--the photos do not do them justice!"

— Nora R. (5/5)

Picture does not do justice. . .

"I bought these last Fall and the flowers are coming-up now. I just wanted to say that they are gorgeous. The pictures do not do them justice. I am very pleased with my purchase ."

— Nora R. (5/5)

A happy little flower

"I purchased these last fall (2018) and got them in the ground in late September. I thought they'd bloom earlier in the season with the other tulips and at first was a bit disappointed. But after a late spring snow, they opened in time for mother's day! What a happy surprise! These flowers are interesting because they open during the day and close up at night. I'm very satisfied with them. And I'm considering getting more this fall. My neighbor walked over yesterday to ask what they were because she liked them so much."

— LeighBee (5/5)

Beautiful late species tulip!

"I only grow the short species tulips as they multiply well. I love this warm color, it blooms later than Persian Pearl and provides a pop of warm color at the right time for me!"

— Michelle (5/5)

Love this plant!

"Outdoor. Want to create natural, meadow like landscaping."
