How to grow ice cream tulips?
This double tulip blooms late, around mid-May. Even so, the blooming lasts a very long time: it can hold for up to 2 months. It's often planted in large clusters in a flower bed, along edges, and even in pots. Tulipa 'Ice Cream' loves loose, soft soil that is moderately moist. Water it every 2 to 3 days in case of heat waves, and only every 5 to 7 days when the weather is milder. Remember to remove weeds from around your plants. Add bulb flower fertilizer before the blooming begins. Cut wilted flower stems but keep the leaves until they turn yellow, too. That's the sign that you can cut and remove them. Add fertilizer and start watering again so that you can beef up the nutrient reserves to the point that it reaches a large caliber size (11+). Note: the Ice Cream tulip resists diseases well.
