Pack of 8 Bulbs
Plant Candy Apple Delight bulbs, a Darwin hybrid tulip, in early to mid fall, and in mid spring this spring ephemeral blooms in large, cheery, candy apple red flowers edged in white. Borne singly on tall, elegant stems, the bright bicolor blooms make festive cuts for seasonal bouquets.
A Tulipa hybrid cultivar, Candy Apple Delight has an upright habit. It naturalizes easily, with its sprawling clumps of narrow, linear foliage and showy blooms appearing year after year, possibly for decades, in ideal conditions. Tulips are especially useful for erosion control in spring rains. Consider planting in large sweeping drifts in open woodland areas, in masses under deciduous trees, or in smaller groupings in beds and borders or in front of shrubs. Tulips mix well with ground covers and other spring-blooming bulbs but also make a great container plant and can be forced for cheery indoor blooms in winter.
Candy Apple Delight, a cold hardyto Zone 3bulbous perennial, is easy to grow and maintain. The plant grows best in sunny to partly shady locations with rich, fertile, well-draining soil. It is resistant to most pests.
