Planting Instructions for Stunning Apricot Tulips
When to Plant:
Plant your Stunning Apricot Tulip bulbs in the fall, ideally about 6 to 8 weeks before the ground freezes. This gives the bulbs time to establish roots before winter.
Where to Plant:
Select a sunny spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Ensure the soil drains well; tulips dislike sitting in waterlogged conditions.
How to Plant:
Prepare the Soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of about 12 inches and mix in some compost to improve drainage and nutrients.
Planting Depth: Dig holes that are about 6 to 8 inches deep, placing the pointed end of the bulb facing upwards.
Spacing: Space the bulbs 4 to 6 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
Cover: Fill the holes back with soil, gently pressing down to eliminate any air pockets.
Watering: Water the area thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil.
Care Tips:
Apply a layer of mulch, like straw or shredded leaves, to protect the bulbs and retain moisture.
After blooming, let the leaves die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for next year’s growth.
In early spring, consider applying a light dose of balanced fertilizer as new growth appears.
With a little care, your Stunning Apricot Tulips will bring joy and beauty to your garden, creating a vibrant springtime display that you’ll love to admire!
