Planting And Care

• Plant tulip ‘Annie Schilder’ bulbs in the autumn, preferably eight weeks or more ahead of the first hard freeze. This gives the bulbs time to grow roots before winter arrives.
• Select a fertile soil that drains properly. Choose a spot that gets at least six hours of sunlight every day for tulips, as they prefer full to partial sunlight.
• Approximately 4 to 6 inches should be dug for every bulb. Aim for the bulb’s pointed end to face upward. Planting the bulbs at the proper depth offers stability and protection from high temperatures.
• Give the Tulip ‘Annie Schilder’ bulbs a space between them of 4 and 6 inches. This keeps things from getting too crowded and promotes healthy plant growth and bloom.
• To aid in settling the soil and promoting root development, give the recently planted bulbs plenty of water. Water the plants sparingly until the shoots appear after planting. Once established, keep the growth season moist but not so wet that the plants become wilted.
• To supply vital nutrients at planting time, apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer. Steer clear of high-nitrogen fertilizers because they may cause excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower development.
