TULIPS 

DARWIN HyBRID TUlIPs 

These are the largest of the garden/bedding tulips. These Hybrid Tulips, with their 

enormous blooms and strong stems, are the result of crossing the Darwin Tulips 

with the Emperor Tulips. These tulips are the closest to Perennial quality. Blooming 

April-May, often 10 days earlier then the Darwins and reaching a height of 22", they 

are among the most weather-resistant of the tulips. We recommend them highly!

DAYLILIES (hemerocallis roots) 

Day lilies are a great hardy perennial - grows in sun or partial shade with blooms all summer 

long. Plant 3 or more in a clump and they will multiply to give you summer after summer of 

wonderful blooms. Great in mass plantings for naturalizing (plant 18-24" apart). Try planting 

some in front of your tulips and daffodils. After your early spring bulbs have bloomed, your 

will hide the foliage and provide a bright succession of blooms through the summer.

PlANTING INsTRUCTIONs FOR BUlBs 

The chart below will give you an idea as to how deep to plant and the spacing of bulbs . The 

depth of planting is measured from the base or bottom of the bulb . The distance between bulbs 

is up to you . if you want a more dense planting, leave less space between bulbs . 

for example: if you have a garden bed 10’x5’ (50 sq . ft .), you could plant tulips every 6” which 

would total 200 bulbs . if you wanted more color you could plant every 4” which would total 450 

bulbs . your order will be shipped with complete planting instructions .
