How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
12-18â tall x 4-6â wide. Sweetheart Emperor Tulip (Tulipa fosteriana âSweetheartâ) produces single, cup-shaped blooms on long stems ideal for cutting. Collect by the armful for gorgeous, long-lasting bouquets. The delicate fragrance of Sweetheart Tulip infuses the air with the scent of springtime. Emperor tulips are known for their large flowers and early blooming. They pair nicely with small early spring bulbs like Crocus and Grape Hyacinth. Plant them toward the front of beds and borders or along walkways. Emperor Tulips perennialize readily given proper conditions. Plant in locations receiving six or more hours of bright sun per day. These bulbs require a well-drained soil and thrive in areas that are relatively dry in summer. Tulip bulbs rot easily in wet soils, especially in winter. As with any Tulip, allow foliage to brown and die back naturally rather than cutting to feed next year's blooms.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The âPlant Informationâ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
