Frequently Asked Questions

Daydream tulips can be left in the ground year-round. These tulips are known for their ability to naturalize, which means they can adapt and thrive in the garden without the need for lifting and storing the bulbs. By leaving the bulbs in the ground, you allow them to undergo their natural growth cycle, including dormancy periods during the colder months. This practice helps the bulbs establish a stronger root system and promotes their long-term health and flowering potential. However, it's important to ensure that the soil provides good drainage to prevent bulb rot during wet seasons.

If you forgot to plant your Daydream tulip bulbs at the appropriate time, there are a few options to consider. Firstly, you can still plant the bulbs as soon as possible. While late planting may affect their flowering in the current season, the bulbs might still produce foliage and store energy for the following year. Make sure to amend the soil with organic matter and provide adequate watering. Alternatively, you can store the unplanted bulbs in a cool, dry place until the next planting season. Remember to check them periodically for any signs of decay or disease.

Daydream tulips are generally considered frost hardy, meaning they can tolerate cold temperatures and light frosts. These tulips are bred to withstand colder climates and are known for their resilience. However, in areas with severe or prolonged freezing conditions, it's advisable to provide some protection. Applying a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants can help insulate the soil and provide some protection against extreme cold. Additionally, covering the tulips with a frost cloth or burlap during particularly frosty nights can further safeguard them.

When it comes to fertilizing Daydream tulips, a balanced and slow-release fertilizer is recommended. Before planting, incorporate a granular bulb fertilizer or a general-purpose slow-release fertilizer into the soil. This will provide a steady supply of nutrients to the bulbs as they develop and establish their roots. During the growing season, you can supplement the soil with a liquid fertilizer formulated for flowering plants. Look for a fertilizer with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K) to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding application rates and frequency, and be cautious not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth and fewer flowers.
