White Flower Farm Tulip Janis Joplin

This Fosteriana tulip is prized for its unique reddish-lavender hue and exceptionally long bloom period. It is also noted for its sturdy stems and reliable, vigorous growth, which is why it consistently ranks as a staff favorite.

Unlike many modern tulip hybrids that are treated as annuals, the 'Janis Joplin' offers strong perennial potential. With proper care and well-drained soil, you can expect these bulbs to return for multiple seasons.

These bulbs are shipped as dormant bulbs at the optimal time for fall planting in your specific region. Planting in the fall allows the bulbs to establish a healthy root system before the ground freezes, ensuring a strong display in the spring.

Fosteriana tulips thrive in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Ensuring good drainage is essential to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the winter months.

For a dense, architectural look in your garden borders, space the bulbs 4 to 5 inches apart. This spacing provides enough room for the large, broad-petaled flowers to develop fully while creating a cohesive mass planting.

At maturity, these tulips typically reach a height of 16 to 20 inches. Their sturdy stems make them excellent for mid-border placement where they can stand upright without needing extra support.
