Global Desire Double Early Tulip has white blooms early in the season. White tulips are a nice addition to your garden as they help make the other colors of tulips you have added stand out. Global Desire Tulip will look nice with any other double early tulip. To mix it up a bit, try planting with Pink Pride Daffodils and Grape Hyacinths.
Tulip Growing Advice
- Plant in full sun to partial shade
- Tulips
need cold temperatures in order to produce a bloom, and are best suited
in climates that have 12-16 weeks of consistently cold temps (below 50
degrees) during the day.
- Drainage is essential to the survival
of tulips. Plant in garden beds that have been amended with organic
matter if your soil does not drain well.
- To encourage the
possibility of blooms for the next season, keep the leaves intact until
they have yellowed, withered and can easily be removed from the soil.
- Fertilize
tulips in fall at planting with a slow release granular fertilizer.
When leaves emerge in Spring you may fertilize your tulips again with
the same slow release granular fertilizer.
