How to care for Ready to Bloom Tulip Baskets

Set the basket of Tulip bulbs in a sunny location outside. They will endure spring’s freezing and thawing temperatures, and precipitation, with minimal care. There is no need to fertilize. Water when the potting mix is dry to the touch. We recommend removing the pots from the basket before watering. Please note that the growth of the bulbs will be slower in colder temperatures and faster in warmer temperatures. Bulbs usually begin blooming 4-6 weeks after arrival.

We have found that most Tulips do not rebloom reliably after being forced. We treat our forced Tulips as a one time show and generally compost after blooming.
