Fringed Tulips-Grow and Care

Fringed Tulips

Tassel tulips have a long bloom period on tall, strong stems.
Plant the bulbs when the ground begins to cool in late April-May. If necessary, place the bulbs in the dryer in a breathable paper or plastic bag (away from the fruit) 4-6 weeks before planting.

They prefer full sun in a shaded location and are ideal for pots and containers. Flowering mid-late spring.

Tulips are easy to grow.

Tulips are cool-temperature-loving species and are native to zones 3-8.

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.

To make the soil fertile, you can add 1 inch of compost to the garden bed before planting.

Cut off the top of the tulips by removing the blooms. It will help the plant focus on new growth.

Tubers don’t need to be dug every year unless you live in a hot area. You must store them in the cold and replant the following year.

Tulips and bulbs are toxic to animals. Therefore, you should keep your pets away from them.
