Tulip Pinocchio

Description

Greigii tulips were the very first wild tulips introduced into cultivation, the first species tulips gardeners planted on a wide scale, in 1871. The response to these long-lasting blooms on shorter stems (just 8"), heavily speckled and spotted foliage and the dynamic two toned flowers was electric! We are delighted to introduce one of the very best to you in tulip Pinocchio. Jazzy red and white blooms last longer than classic tulips, and they repeat bloom from one spring to the next with much greater staying power. Little Pinocchio will sparkle in your spring garden, filling window sills, rock gardens and patio containers with tremendous charm - and that's the truth! :)

Uses

Care

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.
