Description / Tulipa Big Love Tulip Bulbs
Plant Big Love tulip bulbs in early to mid-fall, and in mid to late spring this spring ephemeral blooms in bright true pink flowers set atop a basal rosette of elegant long leaves. Borne singly on strong, stately stems that rise 18 to 22 inches tall, the big blooms have classic good looks with their graceful pyramidal goblet shape and posh pure pink color. The blooms are long-lasting, making them ideal cut flowers for spring bouquets or mixed floral arrangements. Left in the garden, they attract pollinators, particularly early emerging bees.
Big Love, a Darwin hybrid tulip, has an upright habit. Among the best tulips for naturalizing, Darwin tulips may reappear year after year, in ideal conditions. Best planted in groups, tulips make excellent ground cover, especially useful for erosion control in spring rains, and their colorful flowers always complement other spring-blooming bulbs in the garden. They create stunning displays whether planted in large sweeping drifts, especially nice in open woodland areas, or in smaller groupings in beds, borders, and along walkways. Tulips make great container plants and can be forced for cheery indoor blooms in winter.
Big Love tulips are cold hardy to Zone 3. They are easy to grow in sunny spots with average, well-drained soil, but they tolerate clay, loamy, sandy, and acidic soil types. As the blooms fade, remove promptly, cutting the stem to 1 inch below the flower; but allow the foliage to continue to grow and gather energy for next season's flowers, only pruning out the leaves after they die back naturally, turn yellow, and droop to the ground.
