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 Long-lasting 'All Season Friends & Family Mix'
Planting: Plant in fall when soil temperatures drop below 55°F. Use mechanical planters or mass-planting tools to place bulbs 6–8 inches deep, pointed end up. For extended bloom and color layering, stagger varieties by flowering time and hue.
Spacing: Set bulbs 4–6 inches apart, or slightly closer for maximum coverage. Blocks of a single variety offer uniformity and simplify maintenance in large displays.
Light: Choose open, sunny areas to ensure even bloom, strong stems, and color consistency. Light shade is tolerated but may reduce overall performance.
Soil: Use well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6–7). In heavy or compacted locations, amend or raise beds to improve drainage and prevent rot, especially in high-traffic settings.
Watering: Water after planting to settle bulbs. In spring, irrigate only during prolonged dry spells—avoid overwatering, which can shorten bloom life and promote disease.
Temperature & Dormancy: Tulips need 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) to initiate strong root systems and flowering. In warm zones, pre-chill bulbs before planting.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer at planting and again in early spring. Slow-release or liquid formulas are especially useful in public or commercial plantings.
Pests: Squirrels may dig newly planted beds—use mesh, mulch, or repellents as needed. Deer will eat buds and foliage in early spring, so install fencing or apply repellents in vulnerable areas.
Disease: To prevent Botrytis (Tulip Fire), use only healthy bulbs and plant in sunny, well-aerated spots. Avoid overhead watering. Remove and destroy any infected foliage—never compost it. Rotate sites annually and do not replant in affected locations for at least three years.
