Growing and Maintenance Tips for Tulipa Greigii 'Concerto'

Planting: Plant in fall when soil temperatures fall below 55°F. Set bulbs 6–8 inches deep with the pointed end facing up. Greigii tulips enjoy sunny spots where their low profile and decorative foliage can be appreciated up close.
Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart. Cluster 10 or more for a strong visual impact—especially effective in front borders or containers where foliage and bloom color can shine.
Light: Full sun yields the best flowering and leaf coloration. Light shade is tolerated, but consistent sunlight encourages sturdy growth.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6–7). Avoid poorly drained areas—this compact class is sensitive to rot in wet conditions.
Watering: Water after planting to settle the soil. During spring, water only when dry weather persists—overwatering may reduce flower longevity.
Temperature & Dormancy: Needs 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) to develop strong roots and flower buds.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer at planting and again when foliage emerges to support strong stems and consistent early bloom.
Pests: Generally low-maintenance. Squirrels can be deterred with mulch or mesh. Deer will eat buds and early foliage—especially in spring—so use repellents or fencing in high-pressure areas.
Disease: To prevent Botrytis (Tulip Fire), use only healthy, firm bulbs and plant in sunny, well-ventilated locations. Avoid overhead irrigation and discard any infected foliage—do not compost. Rotate tulip planting areas annually and avoid replanting in affected sites for three years.
