Planting Guide

• When to plant: Plant in fall before the ground freezes (usually Sept–Nov).
• Light: Full sun to part sun — aim for 6–8 hours of sunlight for best flowering.
• Soil: Use well-draining, fertile soil. Mix in compost or aged organic matter if the soil is heavy.
• Depth: Plant bulbs about 6–8 inches deep (measured from soil surface to bulb top).
• Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart for a dense, natural look.
• First watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle soil around the bulbs.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth but avoid waterlogging. In most seasons, supplemental watering is only needed during dry spells.
• Mulch: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• After bloom: Deadhead spent flowers to tidy the bed, but allow the leaves to yellow and die back naturally so bulbs can store energy for next year.
• Longevity: Planting in well-drained soil and leaving foliage to mature improves chances of bulbs returning, though some gardeners choose to replace bulbs yearly for the most reliable displays.

Container Planting

• Pot size: Use a container at least 12 inches wide with good drainage.
• Mix: Fill with a high-quality, well-draining potting mix and a bit of compost for nutrients.
• Depth & spacing: Plant bulbs 6–8 inches deep and keep spacing similar to in-ground (4–6 inches).
• Watering: Water after planting and monitor moisture—containers dry faster, so water more often during warm, dry periods.
• Winter care: If you live where temperatures are mild, you can leave containers protected outdoors; in very cold climates, move pots to an unheated garage or sink them into the ground for extra insulation.

FAQs

1. What makes Orange Cassini tulips special?

Orange Cassini are prized for their deep orange petals with a coppery glow and their upright, cup-shaped blooms. They reach roughly 15–18 inches tall and their sturdy stems help flowers stay upright in typical spring weather.

2. When should I plant these bulbs?

Plant in the fall between September and November—before the ground freezes—to let roots establish ahead of winter. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil for best results.

3. How do I care for them after planting?

After planting, water well once to settle the soil. During growth, keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Remove spent blooms to keep the planting tidy, and wait to trim foliage until it turns yellow and dies back naturally.

4. Are these tulips suitable for containers?

Yes. Use a pot with good drainage, plant bulbs at the same 6–8 inch depth, and use a light, well-draining potting mix. Containers may need more frequent watering since they dry out faster than garden beds.

5. Will Orange Cassini tulips come back every year?

They can, when planted in well-draining soil and allowed to mature after flowering. Leaving foliage in place until it dies back helps bulbs store energy. Still, many gardeners choose to replant bulbs annually for the most consistent spring display.
