Tulip Negrita (Magenta) – Bulbs (set of 5)

Description

The five Tulip ‘Negrita’ bulbs in magenta add a splash of dramatic beauty to your springtime landscape. These tulips provide flower beds and containers a splash of color and drama with their velvety, deep magenta flowers. ‘Negrita’ tulips are adaptable and have a dramatic effect in both formal and casual garden settings. They stand at a moderate height. For best development, plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep in well-drained soil and give them lots of sunlight. These traditional tulip bulbs guarantee a striking show of color during their mid-spring blossoming season.

Planting And Methodology

• Tulip bulbs should be planted in the fall, six to eight weeks prior to the first hard frost. This enables them to grow roots in preparation for winter.
• Pick fertile, well-draining soil. Over neutral soil, tulips love slightly acidic soil. Make sure you have adequate drainage to avoid wet circumstances, which can cause bulb rot.
• Choose an area that receives full or partial sunshine. Tulips grow best in regions with six hours or more of daily sunshine.
• With the pointed end of the bulbs facing up, plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) deep. Set them apart by roughly 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm).
• After planting, give the area a good irrigation to help the soil settle. Generally speaking, tulips don’t require a lot of watering throughout the winter hibernation season.
