Bulb Care Instructions

To assure the ultimate performance of your bulb displays, please follow these tips:

It is imperative to provide ample water in the Fall for settling and root development.

Immediately after planting, water thoroughly with 1 to 2-inches of water over the entire display area. Normal rainfall during Fall and early Winter should be sufficient for the remainder of the season. During a dry Fall, additional watering will be required.

Of all the bulbs, tulips are "heavy feeders" and require fertilization as foliage emerges and again after flowering. Fertilize other bulbs after flowering to support foliage and increase bulb size. Use a complete fertilizer, such as a 5-10-10, or 6-12-12, at two pounds per 100 square feet each time you fertilize.
