Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation
Cold Stratification : Tulipa Batalinii seeds benefit from cold stratification to break dormancy. Place the seeds in a moist medium such as sand or peat moss in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 6-8 weeks before planting.
Sowing
Timing : Sow seeds in late winter or early spring, or after the cold stratification period if performed.
Depth : Sow seeds about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in seed trays or directly in prepared garden beds.
Spacing : Space seeds about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) apart.
Germination
Conditions : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) during the germination period.
Timeframe : Germination typically takes 2-4 weeks but may vary.
Transplanting
Timing : Once seedlings have developed at least two sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted.
Spacing : Transplant seedlings to their permanent location, spacing them 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) apart.
Care and Maintenance
Watering : Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering after flowering.
Mulching: Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Dormancy Care : After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally to store energy for the next season. Avoid removing the foliage prematurely.
