Product Details

Blue-Ribbon Stretch is a collection of 50 Stretch Tulips and 50 deep blue Grape Hyacinths (Muscari armeniacum). Tulips are the indispensable highlight of the spring garden. The most difficult thing about them is choosing. One solution to that dilemma is our Stretch Mix—50 top-size bulbs of 50 different, long-stemmed hybrids, which provide the maximum diversity of color and form. Plan on about 12 sq ft.

Shipping Info

We want our customers to receive strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in their gardens and homes. Here's what we'd like you to know about our shipping practices.

Delivery Timing

We aim to deliver your plants at as close to the proper time for planting in your area as possible. To do so, we consider the USDA Hardiness Zone to which we're shipping, current and forecasted weather at the destination and along the shipping route, and whether your plants are ready for transplant.

In spring, we ship first to the warmest regions and move north as planting conditions improve. For fall deliveries, we begin with the coolest regions and work south. We frequently adjust shipping schedules when extreme weather could put plants at risk while in transit or soon after arrival.

Because different plants reach readiness at different rates and are weather-sensitive in varying degree, a single order may be delivered via multiple shipments. Plants sold as part of a collection, or that are otherwise meant to arrive together, will be shipped together. Please contact our customer service team with two weeks' advance notice if you anticipate being away at the expected time of delivery

Tracking information for each package is delivered via email. 

Plant & Container Sizes

We deliver plants in various sizes and stages of growth, and the product detail pages of our website indicate the form and/or pot size in which the plant will be delivered. Pot sizes range from 1 pint to 1 gallon and larger. Many perennials, roses, shrubs and vines are delivered bareroot - that is, not in a container at all. Bulbs and tubers are generally delivered bareroot and fully dormant. We choose container sizes and delivery methods based on how each plant grows best, how we can minimize transplant shock, and how to minimize unnecessary bulk/weight in shipment. 

Caring for Your Plants Upon Arrival

It is important to acclimate greenhouse-grown plants to life outdoors. All plant shipments include simple instructions for handling your plants upon arrival. Further how-to information, including planting instructions, is available on each plant's product page.

Beautiful Display This Year, 2017

"I wrote a review two years ago reporting disappointing results. This Spring, 2017, the Tulips are absolutely beautiful, I am placing order for 200 more next year. We plant Blue Ribbon Stretch Mixture every fall in two from planter beds, and remove after bloom to make way for annuals. Colors this year are spectacular, and blend in very well with the Hyacinth."

Limited Success Past two years

"We have used this mix in a large highly visible planter for 5 years. Each fall we buy and plant 200 to 250 bulbs, and remove and discard them in spring after flowering. For the first 3 years, the results were spectacular. We received several complements on the display. I have attached a picture showing sample results from Spring 2012. Past two years, the blooms have been very sparse. We have been very disappointed. We are in Chicago suburbs, and hope for the best next spring. Hopefully poor results may have been due to the overly warm winter-spring 2012-2013 and then by extremely cold winter spring 2013-2014. We will update review in Spring."
