Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in late spring.
Yes, Mount Tacoma tulips are excellent for container gardening. Ensure your pots have good drainage and place them in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade.
We recommend a planting density of 9 bulbs per square foot. Since each bag contains 8 bulbs, you will need approximately one bag per square foot of garden space.
Mount Tacoma tulips prefer average, well-draining soil. They are quite adaptable but will perform best in soil that is not consistently waterlogged.
Absolutely. Their peony-like, double white blooms and sturdy stems make them a popular choice for cut flower arrangements.
Tulips are technically perennials, but many modern varieties, including double types like Mount Tacoma, often perform best when treated as annuals or replanted every few years for the most consistent, full blooms.
