When to Grow

Plant Blue Diamond bulbs in fall, ideally November, at 6 to 8 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Choose full sun to light shade and sandy, well-drained soil, steering clear of spots where water collects over winter. These fluffy violet heads are mid- to late-spring bloomers on 12- to 14-inch stems.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Plant tulips late in the season, ideally November, when the cooler fall temps can help to protect against fungal pathogens and hungry squirrels.
  • Plant tulips 6 to 8 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. Most varieties just produce a single stem per bloom, so they are best planted in clusters of 10 or more.
  • Tulips can range in height widely, from diminutive dwarf varieties to towering types reaching 20-30 inches tall. It is essential to keep in mind the height of the variety that you are planting, as this will determine where to place them in the design.

How to Grow

  • Tulips prefer sandy soil, and full sun to light shade (with afternoon sun).
  • Avoid planting them in areas with standing water or soggy soil, as they need well-drained, rich soil to thrive.
  • Tulips have a wide range of bloom times. With careful attention to timing, you can enjoy an array of tulips blooming in your garden from early to late spring.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Provide well-drained soil, as the bulbs do not like prolonged wet feet over the winter, and constantly wet conditions leave them susceptible to rot and fungal disease.

How to Save Seeds

  • While there are some varieties that are longer-lived perennials, most gardeners will find that their tulips need to be replanted each year.
