Big Apricot Tulips

These are Darwin hybrid tulips, which are prized for their exceptionally large, sturdy flowers and robust stems. They are specifically bred for high-impact visual displays and reliable performance in the garden.

Yes, these are perennial tulips. To encourage them to return, you must allow the foliage to wither naturally after blooming so the bulb can store energy for the following season.

They require full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. If planted in partial shade, the stems may become leggy and lean toward the light, compromising their structural integrity.

While they are excellent in landscape beds, they perform well in containers provided the pot has excellent drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 5-inch planting depth.

For a dense, professional-looking display, space the bulbs 3 to 4 inches apart. Planting them in clusters of 10 or more creates the most dramatic visual impact.

These bulbs are hardy in USDA zones 3a through 8b, and 10b. If you live in a very warm climate, ensure your soil is well-drained, as these bulbs are sensitive to rot in overly wet conditions.
