Blushing Ballerina Bulb Mix opens spring with fragrance first, then layered pink tulips and softly colored daffodils. This 25-bulb collection includes Hyacinthus orientalis 'Fondant', Tulipa 'Finola', and Narcissus 'Tristar' for a pastel planting of rose-pink, blush, ivory, and pale yellow. The hyacinths stay compact at 8 to 12 inches, the daffodils rise to about 15 to 18 inches, and the double late tulips finish the scene with fuller 16- to 18-inch flowers. Place this mix near a front walk or seating area, since the hyacinth fragrance is too good to hide at the back of a bed.

Fondant hyacinth starts the display with dense pink flower spikes, followed by Tristar daffodil’s split cup flowers and Finola tulip’s peony-like late spring blooms. This mix provides a coordinated spring planting so you don't have to sort through separate color pairings. Daffodils are reliable naturalizers, hyacinths may return with a looser flower form after the first season, and most double tulips are best replaced the following year for the fullest yearly display. 

Blushing Ballerina Bulb Mix Care

Plant Blushing Ballerina Bulb Mix in full sun to part sun, with the strongest flowering in sites that receive at least 6 hours of direct light during spring growth. Choose loose, well-drained soil with moderate organic matter and a slightly acidic to neutral pH, about 6.0 to 7.0. Avoid low spots where winter rain lingers, since hyacinths and tulips can rot in wet soil. Hyacinth bulbs can irritate skin, so gloves are helpful during planting and cleanup.

Water the planting area once after planting so the bulbs settle into place before winter. In spring, let rainfall do most of the work, adding water only when the soil becomes dry several inches down while leaves and buds are active. Use a bulb fertilizer at planting or as shoots emerge, keeping fertilizer below or beside the bulbs rather than directly touching them.

Snap off faded tulip flowers and trim spent hyacinth spikes once the florets brown, but leave the leaves alone until they yellow naturally. Daffodil flower stems can be cut after bloom, while the grassy foliage should remain for several weeks. After flowering, the bulbs move into a recharge period while the leaves continue feeding next year’s growth. A light winter mulch is helpful in colder zones, but remove or thin it in spring so new shoots do not stay damp around the crown. In warm-winter regions, tulips may need prechilling and are usually treated as annual spring color.

Blushing Ballerina Bulb Mix Spacing

Plant hyacinths about 5 to 6 inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart, tulips 6 to 8 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, and daffodils 6 to 8 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. For containers, use at least a 14- to 16-inch-wide pot with drainage holes, placing daffodils deepest, tulips above or beside them, and hyacinths near the upper layer where their fragrance can be enjoyed. Keep container soil lightly moist after planting, and protect pots from repeated freeze-thaw cycles in cold climates.
