When planting Darwin Hybrid Tulip bulbs, it's important to consider the optimal planting depth to ensure healthy growth and beautiful blooms. A general guideline is to plant these bulbs at a depth of approximately 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm). This depth provides enough insulation and stability for the bulbs while allowing the shoots to emerge properly. By planting them at the recommended depth, you encourage strong root development and protect the bulbs from extreme weather conditions.

To care for Darwin Hybrid Tulips, follow these simple steps.

• Plant the bulbs in well-drained soil with full sun exposure.
• Ensure the soil is fertile and enriched with organic matter.
• Water the bulbs regularly, providing enough moisture to keep the soil slightly damp but not waterlogged.
• Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring when shoots emerge.
• Deadhead the faded flowers to prevent seed formation and promote better energy allocation to the bulbs.
• After flowering, allow the foliage to turn yellow and wither naturally before cutting it back.
• Protect the bulbs from extreme temperatures, and consider lifting and storing them in a cool, dry place for replanting next season. This is not necessary.
