Tulip Foxtrot & Hyacinth Blue Jacket Blend Bulbs

Plant this 50/50 mix of Foxtrot tulip and Blue Jacket hyacinth bulbs in early to mid-fall, and prepare to be dazzled by their pretty pink and blue blend of wonderfully fragrant, bee-friendly flowers in early to mid-spring. Foxtrot, a Double Early tulip, boasts bowl-shaped blooms that resemble peonies, packed with a double row of petals in various shades of rose, pink, and white. Blue Jacket, an RHS award-winning hyacinth, features substantial flower spikes dense with deep blue florets, each adorned with a dark purple stripe down the middle of each petal. This dramatic duo blooms in harmony, with complementary bloom times and heights, each reaching approximately 8 to 12 inches tall. The tulips flower first, followed closely by the hyacinths for a stunning simultaneous display. These bountiful blooms are long-lasting and make excellent cut flowers for spring bouquets or mixed arrangements.

The Tulip Foxtrot & Hyacinth Blue Jacket Blend is typically grown as an annual, but in ideal conditions and appropriate zones, they may multiply and return for several years. This blend looks best when massed or grouped in beds, borders, or patio pots and adds a charming touch when planted along walkways.

Both Tulip Foxtrot and Hyacinth Blue Jacket are easy to grow, virtually foolproof for gardeners of any skill level. Cold hardy to Zone 4, they thrive in sunny to partially shady spots with average, well-draining soil. To maintain their beauty, deadhead spent flowers immediately, but allow the foliage to die back naturally. For optimal performance, fertilize each year.
