Tulipa Economy Medley Mix Tulip Bulbs

The mid-sized tulip bulbs in the Economy Medley Mix offer exceptional value without compromising on beauty. These tall tulips, ranging from 16 to 18 inches in height, feature traditionally shaped blooms in a delightful variety of forms and a vibrant array of colors. This mix paints your spring garden with a prismatic display, creating stunning, artsy bouquets that bring life and color to any indoor space.

Economy Medley Mix tulips are cold hardy to USDA Zone 3 and are incredibly easy to grow and maintain. They thrive in sunny to partially shady locations, with some light shade helping to extend their bloom time by keeping them cool, especially in warmer climates. These tulips prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. When planting, be sure to space the bulbs 4 to 8 inches apart and plant them at a depth of 4 to 8 inches. For the best results, start feeding the bulbs with a balanced fertilizer like Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food as soon as new growth appears in the spring. After flowering, remove spent blooms promptly, but allow the leaves to yellow and wither naturally before cutting them back. This process nourishes the bulbs and prepares them for robust growth in the following spring. In USDA Zones 8-10, lift and refrigerate the bulbs for at least eight weeks before replanting.
