I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Tulipa Fringed Double 'Snow Crystal'
Planting: Plant in fall when soil temperatures fall below 55°F. Set bulbs 6–8 inches deep, pointed end up. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot to protect their full, textured blooms from spring wind and rain.
Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart. For maximum impact, plant in groups of 10 or more—the dense double petals and frilled edges create a bold, luxurious effect.
Light: Full sun promotes strong stems and crisp petal texture. While light shade is tolerated, consistent sunlight enhances bloom fullness and fringe detail.
Soil: Requires well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6–7). Avoid soggy soil—double flowers are especially sensitive to rot in poor drainage.
Watering: Water after planting to settle the soil. During spring growth, water only during dry spells to maintain healthy foliage and flower integrity.
Temperature & Dormancy: Needs 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) to establish roots and initiate bloom.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer when planting and again as foliage appears in spring to support strong growth and full flower formation.
Pests: Generally trouble-free. Mulch or mesh may deter squirrels. Deer will eat buds and emerging foliage—especially in early spring—so use repellents or fencing in high-pressure areas.
Disease: To prevent Botrytis (Tulip Fire), plant firm, healthy bulbs in sunny, well-ventilated beds. Avoid overhead watering, and remove any diseased plant material—do not compost. Rotate planting locations annually and avoid replanting in infected areas for at least three years.
