Planting and Growing Information

Plant 'Akebono' bulbs in fall, 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil. These versatile tulips thrive in full sun but tolerate partial shade, making them suitable for various garden locations. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, they bloom in late spring when many other spring bulbs have finished. Their 14-22 inch height makes them perfect for middle or back positions in borders and beds.
