This bulb should be planted in the Fall. Due to the seasonality of bulbs, items are not always in stock. Call for availability. Sword-like foliage on a sturdy stem supports the most recognizable flower imported from The Netherlands. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Exposure to full sun will bring out the rich colors that Tulips offer. Partial shade will enable a longer blooming period and still offer a colorful addition to any garden. Double Early Tulips have long-lasting 3-4" blooms on 10" stems. Blooms mid spring, 12-16 inches.
