🌿 Planting & Care Instructions

1. When to Plant:

   • Cool to temperate zones: March–May — plant directly in the ground

   • Warmer areas: Refrigerate bulbs for 6–8 weeks before planting in May

2. Soil: Enriched, well‑drained soil is best for healthy growth.

3. Watering:

   • Water well as shoots emerge

   • Add high‑nitrogen top dressing when shoots first appear

   • After flowering, water thoroughly to encourage bulb strength

4. After Flowering:

   • Remove faded flowers to conserve energy

   • Allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs

   • Once the foliage yellowed, lift bulbs and store them in a cool, ventilated area for next season

❄️ Refrigerating Bulbs for Warmer Climates

Darwin tulips need a cold period to bloom well. If you live in a region without frost:

• Pre‑chill bulbs for 6–8 weeks before planting

• Keep bulbs in a ventilated bag — do not freeze

• Avoid storing near ripening fruits or vegetables
  This helps bulbs grow taller and flower earlier. 🌱

🌿 Growing as Annuals in Warm Regions

• Perfect for pots and containers

• After refrigeration, plant in large deep pots in late May

• Keep pots in a cool, shaded spot until shoots reach 5 cm

• Then move them to a sunny location for optimal growth and flowering
