Free Tulip Growing Guide — Planting in Crates & Small Beds
 
Description:
Start your spring season off right with our Free Tulip Growing Guide, packed with everything you need to know to grow stunning, healthy tulips — whether you’re planting for your backyard garden or a blooming flower business.
 
Tulips are one of the most profitable and joyful crops to grow. They’re the first flowers to bloom in spring, offering beauty, early income, and a much-needed burst of color after winter. In this guide, we walk you through how to plant tulip bulbs using the crate and small-bed method — the same system we use here at Cattle & Cut Flowers to prevent disease, maximize space, and protect soil health year after year.
 
Learn how to:
Choose the best bulbs for your goals (with sourcing links for wholesale + home growers)
Plant “egg carton style” for perfect stems and high yields
Time your blooms from planting through harvest
Store cut tulips dry in a cooler for up to 2 weeks
Push your season later with January plantings for Mother’s Day sales
Discover our top varieties for cut flowers and wedding work
 
This guide combines practical how-to information with the real-life methods we’ve proven on our Enumclaw flower farm. Whether you’re a first-time gardener or a small-scale flower grower, it’s the perfect way to start your spring season strong.
