Care

Deadhead after flowering but do not cut foliage. Allow leaves to yellow naturally to feed bulb.

Maintenance

Lift bulbs in summer in wet climates or replant fresh bulbs each fall for best performance.

Cleanup

Once foliage fully yellows, cut back. Mark bulb location. Mulch lightly in zone 5.

Notes

Darwin Hybrid tulip known for color-changing blooms that shift from yellow to rich orange. Excellent cut flower.
