Question About Tulips....??

19 years ago

Oh, how I wish I could grow them down here.

Anyway, my sister in North Carolina and I were wondering if and how and what type of fertilizer can be used on Tulips?? ..and when to fertilize??

Both curious about using a Bloom Booster and a Granular?? Or alternate between water soluble bloom booster and miracle grow??

Thanks for all your help/Tropicalfreak

There is no reason you cannot grow tulips in Florida. You will have to chill them for 6 to 10 weeks in your refrigerator the same as I do. They are cheap enough to buy new every year. The flower is already fully developed in the bulb and any reasonable good garden soil will not require additional fertilizer. Al
