Description

'Daydream' Darwin Hybrid Tulip brings evolving color and classic tulip form to the spring garden. Its large, elegant blooms open in soft apricot-orange tones and gradually shift to warm shades of tangerine and salmon as the flowers mature, creating a dynamic display that changes day by day.

Blooming in mid to late spring, 'Daydream' produces the tall, sturdy stems and large cup-shaped flowers that make Darwin Hybrid Tulips a garden favorite. Reaching about 20–24 inches tall, these tulips stand proudly in borders and beds while also making excellent cut flowers for spring bouquets.

Reliable and easy to grow, 'Daydream' performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Like other Darwin Hybrids, it is valued for its vigorous growth, large blooms, and strong perennial potential when planted in favorable conditions. Plant bulbs in groups for the most striking impact, or pair them with other mid-spring bulbs to create layered seasonal color.

With its tall stature and warm, shifting hues, 'Daydream' Darwin Tulip adds movement, warmth, and classic elegance to the spring landscape.

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!
