Description

Darwin Hybrids are the best perennial and the best tulip for cutting! They are also one of the tallest with up to 6" diameter bloom when open. Bearing the colors of an orange dreamsicle, the Daydream Darwin Hybrid Tulip is a charming choice. The light tangerine coloring of these petals changes as it matures throughout the season, varying from apricot, to warm orange, to a slight rosy-yellow. Not only is this tulip splendid to look it, but it is quite fragrant also! Represents perfect love & eternal happiness!

Planting Advice

Tulips perform best in full sun to partial shade
Plant tulips when temperatures have cooled in your area in fall. Once your daytime temperatures are in the 60’s or lower consistently, this is a good time to plant your tulips.
Tulips require 12-16 weeks of consistent temperatures below 50 degrees in winter in order to produce a flower bud; tulips are best suited to cold climates.
Adequate drainage is essential to the health of your tulips. Amend your soil with top soil and organic matter such as compost, manure, leaf mold or peat moss prior to planting. After you have amended your soil, it should be light and easy to work with.
Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 3” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
Tulips should be planted at least 6-8” deep with the pointed side of the tulip facing towards the sky. Dig the planting hole 12” deep so you can add fertilizer to the bottom of the hole. After adding fertilizer back fill with 3-4” of soil, plant your bulbs, then back fill with remaining soil.
Space tulips 4-6” apart when planting individual bulbs. For mass planting and brilliant bursts of color in the garden, plant the bulbs 2-3” apart in bouquet planting groups, trenches and garden beds.
Immediately after planting, water the tulip planting area. This helps to eliminate air pockets in the soil. After the initial planting, it is not necessary to provide any supplemental water to the area. In spring once the tulips have emerged you may water as necessary, although spring rains often make providing additional water unnecessary.
Apply a layer a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

Rough crop, Holland floods

Pros:

Large flowers
Healthy plants
Vibrant color

Cons:

Rough crop

HBF replaced the first set of bulbs that arrived in rough shape. The second set were not in perfect condition either. Unfortunately, with the flooding in Holland last year, excess moisture caused molding.

HOWEVER: I had planted about 50 planters last year with various mixed tulips and this particular bulb has bloomed SOOO BEAUTIFULLY IN MY HOUSE!!! It has quickly become a favorite of mine. Blooms are very large, BEAUTIFULLY two-toned and grown into healthy plants!
