When should I plant Tulipa Miniature 'Little Beauty'?

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Tulipa Miniature 'Little Beauty'

Planting: Plant in fall when soil temperatures drop below 55°F. Set bulbs 4–6 inches deep, pointed end up. These tulips thrive in rock gardens, slopes, and naturalized areas where their petite stature and subtle beauty shine.
Spacing: Space 3–5 inches apart. For a natural effect, scatter and plant in small groupings—mimicking how they appear in the wild.
Light: Full sun is ideal, though many species tolerate light shade. Early blooming habits often align with bare deciduous canopy, offering ample light before trees leaf out.
Soil: Well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil is preferred (pH 6–7.5). Rocky or sandy soils enhance long-term health and return bloom. Avoid soggy areas.
Watering: Water after planting to settle bulbs. In spring, water during extended dry periods but avoid excess moisture—these tulips are adapted to drier climates.
Temperature & Dormancy: Requires 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) to initiate bloom. Many species are exceptionally cold-hardy and drought-tolerant once established.
Fertilization: Apply a low-nitrogen or balanced fertilizer at planting and again as leaves emerge. Avoid overfeeding, which may reduce perennial longevity.
Pests: Squirrels may disturb freshly planted bulbs; use mulch or mesh as needed. Deer will eat buds and foliage—early protection is important in vulnerable areas.
Disease: Rarely affected, but good drainage and sunny exposure help prevent Botrytis or other rot-related issues. Remove any infected material and avoid overhead watering. Rotate locations if issues arise.
