Double tulips have extra petals around the center of the flower, giving it a peony-like appearance.
These cultivars are delicate and sensitive to wind and rain.
That is why they are mainly grown in sheltered places.
Double Early tulips will only reach 8-10 inches maximum.
Late double tulips have stems 12-13 inches long.
They don’t need much water. They are drought tolerant and want well-drained and fertile soil.
Check for signs like yellowing or wilting leaves, as these are common signs of over-watering.
Tulips grow well in full sunlight for at least 6 hours. Sufficient sunlight helps tulips retain their color and vitality.
Tulips don’t need much fertilizer; only once or twice a year is enough. The tubers have enough nutrients for the ideal growth and development of the plant.
