John Scheepers Tulip Dream Touch

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 when spring arrives.

Tulip Dream Touch is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 7. If you live within these zones, they are well-suited to your climate and should return reliably each year.

They reach a mature height of 16 to 18 inches. Because of their height and striking peony-like blooms, they work best in the middle or front of a garden bed where their unique color pattern can be easily appreciated.

Yes, for the best results and most vigorous growth, plant them in a location that receives full sun. This ensures the stems remain sturdy and the blooms open fully in late April.

Unlike single-flowered tulips, this is a double late variety, meaning it has many more petals that mimic the lush, full look of a peony. The unique magenta-purple color with silver-white margins also sets it apart from more common solid-colored tulips.
