Columbus Tulip Bulbs FAQs

1. What makes Columbus Tulips special?

These tulips feature full, double-petaled blooms in pink and white that resemble peonies. They add a luxurious, garden-show look to borders, beds, and cut flower arrangements.

2. When should I plant Columbus Tulip bulbs?

Plant in fall, typically September through November, before frost sets in. This allows bulbs to root over winter for a strong spring bloom.

3. How much sunlight do they need?

Columbus Tulips grow best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of daily sun.

4. Can they be grown in pots?

Yes! They are excellent for containers. Just be sure to use well-draining soil and place pots where they receive plenty of sunlight.

5. How should I care for them after flowering?

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation, but leave the foliage until it naturally yellows. This helps the bulbs recharge for next year. Afterward, either leave them in the ground or lift and store them in a cool, dry place until replanting.
