K. van Bourgondien Tulip Tarda

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 in early to mid-spring.

Yes, their compact 4-inch height makes them an excellent choice for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage holes to prevent the bulbs from sitting in water, which can cause rot.

Naturalizing means the bulbs are capable of multiplying and returning year after year on their own. With proper care, you can expect your patch of Tulip Tarda to expand and bloom reliably each spring.

While they thrive in full sun, they are adaptable and will also perform well in partial shade. If you live in a very hot climate, partial shade can actually help the blooms last a little longer.

Each pack contains 25 bulbs. Because they are small and look best in groups, this quantity is ideal for creating a dense, impactful cluster in a rock garden or a single container.
