Van Engelen Tulip Lambada

These bulbs should be planted in the fall, once the soil has cooled down but before the ground freezes. This timing allows the bulbs to establish their root systems before entering dormancy for the winter.

Yes, their unique fringed petals and vibrant color transitions make them excellent for bouquets. They have sturdy stems that hold up well in vases, providing an exotic, lacy texture to indoor arrangements.

Tulip Lambada is typically treated as an annual. While they may return for a second season if conditions are perfect, most gardeners find they perform best when treated as annuals and replanted each fall for the most reliable, vibrant display.

For optimal growth, plant each bulb 6 inches deep and space them 6 inches apart. This spacing ensures each plant has enough room to develop its root system and allows for proper airflow between the fringed blooms.

These tulips are specifically rated for zones 3-7. In warmer climates (zones 8 and above), they often lack the necessary winter chill hours required to bloom properly, so they may not perform as expected.

They thrive in well-draining garden soil. Avoid planting them in areas where water pools, as wet, heavy soil can cause the bulbs to rot before they have a chance to bloom in May.
