Cold hardy, Economy Medley Mix tulips are incredibly easy to grow and maintain, making them a great option for both novice and experienced gardeners. These tulips thrive in sunny to partially shaded locations, where a bit of light shade in warmer climates can help to extend their bloom time by keeping the flowers cool. They prefer well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH.
For the best results, plant the bulbs in the fall, spacing them 4 to 8 inches apart and at a depth of 4 to 8 inches. This spacing ensures that the tulips have enough room to grow and flourish. Feeding the bulbs with a balanced fertilizer, such as Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food, in early spring as soon as growth begins will encourage robust flowering both in the current season and in the following spring.
After the tulips have bloomed, it's important to remove the spent flowers promptly to direct the plant's energy back to the bulb. However, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as the leaves continue to photosynthesize and store energy for the next year's growth. In USDA Zones 8-10, where winters are milder, it's essential to refrigerate the bulbs for at least eight weeks before planting to ensure they bloom properly in the spring.
The Tulipa Economy Medley Mix is a smart and stylish choice for gardeners who want to fill their gardens with color and charm on a budget. With its vibrant mix of colors, reliable growth, and easy maintenance, this tulip mix will bring joy and beauty to your garden year after year.
