- Our top quality flower bulbs originate fresh from the growers in China.
- Spring flowering bulbs need a sunny spot with well-draining soil to thrive. Pick an area with good drainage to prevent the bulbs from rotting. Add organic matter, like compost or well-rotted manure, to the soil to improve its fertility and drainage. Plant the bulbs 2-3 times their width and gently cover with soil, lightly tamping the soil down. Water in the bulbs.
- Tulips and Daffodils are some of the most popular flower bulbs to plant in the fall, and they come in a wide range of colors and shapes. Hyacinths are great fragrant bulbs that produce beautiful, dense clusters of flowers in shades of pink, blue, purple, and white.
- Early Tulips tend to have a cup-like shape with six petals, and they are pretty well known for that. The average height of the flowers is around 10-18 inches. They look great in any types of gardens you may be maintaining.

These have the names of Double tulips because of their semi-double or double flowers. These can be divided into two different types depending on when they bloom, i.e., Double early bloomers and Double late bloomers. These tend to have an average stem height of around 10-16 inches. But the bloom can often grow up to 6 inches as well. They tend to last for a long time after blooming.
Please follow the following planting instructions, and we will let you have beautiful tulips in full bloom.
1. Choose a Suitable Planting Site
Select a well-drained location with full to partial sunlight for planting tulip bulbs. Tulips thrive in areas that receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Avoid low-lying spots where water may collect, as tulips are susceptible to rot in overly wet conditions. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 12 inches.
2. Prepare the Soil
Tulips prefer fertile, well-draining soil. Mix in organic matter such as compost or aged manure to improve soil texture and fertility. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH level, around 6 to 7. Test your soil's pH if necessary, and amend it accordingly. Ensure the soil is free from large clumps and debris.
3. Plant the Bulbs at the Correct Depth
Plant tulip bulbs in the fall, approximately 6 to 8 weeks before the first hard frost. Dig holes 6 to 8 inches deep, spacing bulbs 4 to 6 inches apart. Place each bulb in the hole with the pointed end facing upward. Cover with soil and gently firm the surface to eliminate air pockets.
4. Water Thoroughly After Planting
After planting, water the bulbs deeply to settle the soil and promote root growth. Tulips need consistent moisture while establishing roots but should not remain waterlogged. Water the planting area until it is evenly moist, and continue to provide water during dry periods until the ground freezes.
5. Protect Bulbs from Pests
Tulip bulbs are attractive to rodents like squirrels and voles. To protect your bulbs, consider covering the planting area with wire mesh or chicken wire. Secure the edges to prevent pests from digging underneath. Alternatively, use repellents or plant deterrent flowers, such as daffodils, around the tulip bed.
