miscellaneous tulip

Water miscellaneous tulips (Tulipa humilis 'Eastern Star') regularly, but do not overwater. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and will need to be watered once every 10 to 14 days during the growing season. When watering, keep in mind the current soil moisture levels and only water when the soil is slightly dry. During the dormant season in winter, water should be applied sparingly, typically once every 3 to 4 weeks. It is important to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.

Miscellaneous tulip (Tulipa humilis 'Eastern Star') is a short-lived perennial plant that needs full sunlight to do its best. Generally, it should receive at least 6 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day, preferably in the morning. Too much intense sunlight during the hottest period of the day can be damaging, so Easten Star should be grown in a location sheltered from the midday sun. If possible, site this variety in a spot where it will receive morning sun and afternoon shade to protect it from the heat. However, too much shade can also be detrimental, so light shade (such as that provided by tall trees) is the best option.

Miscellaneous tulip (Tulipa humilis 'Eastern Star') requires infrequent pruning. It is recommended that the plant should be pruned directly after flowering. This will help to promote strong vigor and abundant blooms for the following season. Pruning should be limited to deadheading (removal of spent flower heads) and any necessary tidying of foliage. To shape the plant, the top half of the stem can be removed. This should be done by cutting at an angle 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) above the base of the plant. It may be necessary to remove any diseased or damaged foliage during the year.
