Big, Puffy Peony Tulips

Breathtakingly beautiful, fragrant Peony Flowering Tulips really do resemble the lush, extravagantly double Peony blooms we all covet every summer. Amazingly, they bloom in an even wider array of colors, from soft yellow with delicate red edges to red-and-white stripes to the deepest purple-black. Some are a swirling mix of several shades, while others have finely fringed petal edges! Each one is unique and beautiful.

Just as easy to grow as any other Tulip, Peony Flowering Tulips' large, fully double blooms have a big, gorgeous impact in spring gardens, and they are truly superb in cut flower arrangements. Even just one bloom in a bud vase is a work of art.

Planting plump Tulip bulbs on a fall afternoon is easy magic. Tulips are the art & soul of spring. Never underestimate the power of planting.

Tulip Bulb Planting Tips

Tulip bulbs require well-draining, neutral pH soil with at least six hours of daily sunlight. Avoid areas with poor drainage or standing water.

Plant bulbs 6" to 8" deep and 6" apart with the pointed sprouting tip up after the soil has chilled down to about 55°F. Flower bulbs should not be planted in outdoor containers or raised beds where they experience temperature spiking and repeat cycles of freezing and thawing that results in failure to thrive.

Top dress the planting site with a 4-10-6 organic granular fertilizer after planting in the fall to promote root growth. (Never add anything to planting holes.) Water lightly if there is a prolonged dry period after planting.

Apply no more than a 2" layer of mulch after the surface of the ground freezes to protect the bulbs from temperature spiking. Loosen the mulch prior to spring sprout emergence.
