Executive Summary about How to Grow Tulips by Cindy Bidar
You might
think you have to have a large yard to properly grow a festive tulip display.
The truth is, some tulip varieties grow very well in small pots, and are nicely
suited to provide just a splash of color on an apartment balcony or in a window
box.
As with most
flowers, tulips require a lot of sun. Choose a
south facing window or balcony for the best sun exposure.
Keep in mind
when choosing containers for growing tulips, terra cotta or ceramic
planters are preferable. Plastic pots can overheat, and their lack of porosity
can prevent proper drainage.
Make sure
your soil is well drained and nutrient rich. If you're not sure, mix in some
peat or compost, and a few handfuls of sand. Since full pots look better than
barren ones, you'll probably want to plant more bulbs in a smaller amount of soil than normal.
Speaking,
the taller the plant, the deeper the bulb should be planted. So if you wish to
have a very tall Darwin hybrid, for example, you should choose a very large
planter. For a window box, you should choose a smaller tulip variety, such as a
Kaufmanniana Hybrid, which typically will grow to a height of four to ten
inches.
Depending on
the variety of tulip you've chosen, it will bloom sometime between late winter
and early summer. Once the flower is wilted, you should cut off the stem of the
plant. The plant needs to remain well watered and in the sun so the leaves can do their
work.
