Tulip General Information

Fosteriana tulips are commonly referred to as Emperor tulips. They have perfectly formed, single bowl-shaped flowers and naturalize pleasantly. Fosteriana are one of the earliest Tulips to bloom, so they are great to plant with Daffodils for an early spring display. Some varieties have striped or mottled foliage.

Tulip Plant Care

Plant in well-drained soil at least 6" deep and 4-6" apart. Foliage should not be removed until withered as energy is being stored for the next growing season. Stems can be cut back to maintain appearances if desired. Interested in forcing bulbs? Visit our Useful Links page.
