Description

Wildflower Tulip Bulbs Mix (Tulipa humilis) is a colorful mix of wildflower-type tulips that bloom in early to mid-spring. Wildflower Tulips will naturalize, meaning they will multiply and spread when planted in ideal conditions. Tulipa humilis prefer full sun and well-drained soil and are very cold hardy. Fragrant. 4-6" tall.

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!

Colorful and wild looking

"These bulbs providedd an early spring pop of great color."

— RRZ (4/5)

Colorful small tulips

"Added these little tulips to my mulched areas for some spring color and these are really nice, they bloomed right after the crocuses."

— MTCO (5/5)

Wonderful circle of vibrant colors

"Wonderful diverse colors. Like them better than the tall usual cup-shape tulips. Plant them in a circle or a small group so they all bloom at once in a colony of color. Beautiful and different."

— Bon B. (5/5)

The only perennial tulips I've found

"They must have full sun ti bloom."

— BLBowens (5/5)

Gorgeous!

"Gorgeous bulbs! I layered and planted with some other spring bulbs. I was pretty surprised they didn't end up blooming at the same time."

— Ellen (5/5)

Very cute

"These are just starting to bloom where I am in Northern Colorado, and are lovely and colorful next to the tete-a-tete miniature daffodils I planted them next to. I am not sure all of them came up this year, but enough did for me to tell that I like them!"

— NoCo G. (5/5)

Love these!

"These are beautiful and delicate. I will be purchasing many more for my own garden as well as for my clients."

— Jessica (5/5)
