kaufmanniana tulip

Tulipa 'Stresa' (Kaufmanniana tulip) should be watered regularly, once a week in the summer, and once every other week in the winter. Water deeply, enough so that the water reaches the entire depth of the root zone and then allow it to thoroughly dry out until it needs watering again. To help retain moisture, use a mulch of compost or wood chips around the base of the plant. Water in the early morning hours for best results.

Tulipa 'Stresa' (Kaufmanniana Tulip) should receive full sun for the best blooming. This means it should receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day during the active growing season. During the winter months, it will receive less direct sunlight but should be kept in a location where it receives at least 2-4 hours of bright, indirect light each day.

Kaufmanniana tulip (Tulipa 'Stresa') should be pruned once a year, in late winter or very early spring, before new growth begins. To prune, remove any dead, dying, or diseased foliage and spent blossoms. Cut the remaining foliage and flower stems back to ground level. This will help to ensure a tidy appearance and encourage fresh new growth each year. The pruning also helps to keep the tulip from getting too big and leggy over time.
