Bluestone Perennials Tulip Ballerina

The 'Ballerina' is a lily-flowering tulip, meaning it features elegant, slender petals that taper to a point and reflex slightly outward. Its striking pumpkin-orange color with butterscotch-yellow edges sets it apart from standard cup-shaped tulips.

Yes, they are excellent for cut flowers. They have long, graceful stems and a pleasant fragrance, making them a sophisticated choice for bringing vibrant color into your home.

Absolutely. These tulips perform well in containers, provided you use a pot with good drainage. Ensure the container is deep enough to accommodate the 6-inch planting depth required for the bulbs.

For the best results, plant these bulbs in an area that receives full sun to mostly sunny exposure. They require well-drained, normal garden soil to thrive and prevent bulb rot.

While often treated as annuals in many gardens, these bulbs are hardy in USDA zones 3-7. They are well-suited for naturalizing in garden borders, which can encourage them to return if conditions are favorable.

You should plant each bulb 6 inches deep to ensure proper root development and protection. Space them 6 inches apart to give each plant enough room to grow to its mature height of 18 inches.
