Deep River has a purple flowers that are a classic tulip shape.
Tulip bulbs are planted in the fall for spring blooms. Be sure to plant your tulips 6 inches deep with 4"-6" spacing in a mostly sunny location with good drainage. They will tolerate some shade but do best in full sun. Tulips do not like to be kept moist so do not overwater. Fertilize with a general low nitrogen fertilizer when the foliage first emerges in the spring.
