Breck's Mount Tacoma Tulip

Mount Tacoma tulips are considered reliable perennials in zones 3-8. With proper care and well-drained soil, they will return and bloom for several seasons.

Plant your bulbs 6 inches deep. This depth helps protect them from temperature fluctuations and ensures the stems have enough support as they grow.

While they thrive in garden borders, they can be grown in containers. Just ensure your pot has excellent drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 6-inch planting depth.

They are versatile and will perform well in both full sun and partial shade. If you live in a warmer climate, partial shade can actually help the blooms last a bit longer.

These bulbs should be planted in the fall, ideally after the soil has cooled down but before the ground freezes. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter dormancy.

Yes, their peony-like double blooms and sturdy 18-inch stems make them excellent for cut flower arrangements. Cut them when the buds are just starting to show color for the longest vase life.
