White Flower Farm Perennial Tulip

Most tulips are treated as annuals because they lose vigor after the first year. This Darwin Hybrid variety is specifically selected for its ability to return and bloom reliably year after year, provided they are planted in suitable hardiness zones.

These bulbs should be planted in the fall, before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom the following May.

Yes, they perform best in full sun. Planting them in an area that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily ensures the strongest stems and the most vibrant color transition from yellow to apricot orange.

Absolutely. Their tall, sturdy stems and perennial nature make them an excellent choice for naturalizing in grassy areas. Just ensure the area receives full sun and that you wait for the foliage to yellow and die back naturally before mowing the grass.

They thrive in well-draining soil, ideally sandy soil that has been enriched with organic matter. Good drainage is critical to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the winter months.

For best results, plant the bulbs about 5 to 6 inches apart. This spacing gives each plant enough room to develop its large, goblet-shaped flowers without competing for nutrients.
