Botanical nameTulipa ‘Foxtrot’ and ‘Foxy Foxtrot’

Foxtrot Fusion Floral Harmony (Tulipa ‘Foxtrot’ and ‘Foxy Foxtrot’) combines 12 double early tulip bulbs in a warm palette of pink, apricot, coral and soft red. Their densely petalled, rounded flowers resemble miniature peonies and create a rich mass of spring colour. Compact stems reach approximately 30 cm (12 in), giving the blend a balanced, substantial appearance that works especially well in borders and containers. Blue-green foliage surrounds the developing flowers before naturally declining later in the season. Cold-hardy, these tulips tolerate northern winters when planted at an appropriate depth in well-drained soil, making them suitable for Quebec and Canadian gardens.

Plant the bulbs in full sun or partial shade in light, fertile and especially well-drained soil. Planting is best done from September through November after the soil has cooled but before it freezes deeply. Set each bulb with the pointed end facing upward at a depth of 100 to 120 mm and space them approximately 10 cm (4 in) apart. Water lightly after planting, then maintain moderate moisture during active spring growth and flowering without saturating the soil. A light application of bulb fertilizer in early spring is generally sufficient. After flowering, remove spent blooms if desired and allow the foliage to yellow completely before cutting it back so the bulbs can replenish their reserves.

Foxtrot Fusion is especially effective in pastel beds, low borders, spring containers and plantings near entrances where its double flowers can be appreciated at close range. Group the bulbs together for a generous massed effect or combine them with white grape hyacinths, spring anemones and softly coloured pansies. The compact stems and richly doubled flowers also perform well in fresh bouquets, where their rounded form resembles miniature peonies. Blooms may receive visits from pollinating insects, although very double cultivars generally provide fewer accessible floral resources than single-flowered tulips. Tulips are not edible and may be toxic to household pets, with the bulbs presenting the greatest concern if chewed or ingested.

Growing method

Plant tulips in the fall, in soil that is still easy to work before it freezes. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, then loosen the soil to a sufficient depth. Place the bulbs with the pointed end up and respect the planting depth indicated for their size. When planting in groups, leave space between the bulbs to allow the roots to develop. Water after backfilling if the soil is dry. Avoid areas where water remains on the surface after rain and mark the planting so as not to damage the bulbs during subsequent gardening. In spring, monitor moisture during growth and water at the base if a dry period persists. Remove faded flowers while keeping the leaves green. This foliage allows the bulb to replenish its reserves; wait for it to yellow naturally before cutting it and avoid braiding it. In containers, check for dryness more often than in the ground and always allow excess water to drain. Re-growth and flowering in subsequent years depend on the variety and growing conditions. Keep bulbs out of reach of children and animals: tulips are ornamental and should not be eaten.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Soil pH

Slightly acidic to neutral

Minimum temperature

Approximately -40 °C

Care level

Easy

Watering

Moderate during active growth and flowering; avoid waterlogged soil

Soil type

Light, fertile, loose and well-drained

Fertilization

Light application of bulb fertilizer in early spring if needed

Seasonal care

In fall, plant the bulbs in loose, well-drained soil once soil temperatures begin to cool. Water lightly after planting if the ground is dry. In spring, allow shoots to emerge naturally and provide regular but moderate moisture throughout active growth and flowering. A light application of bulb fertilizer can be made as growth resumes if the soil is poor. After flowering, remove spent blooms to limit seed formation, but leave all green foliage intact. Wait until the leaves have yellowed and dried naturally before removing them. During summer, greatly reduce watering and avoid locations that remain consistently wet around the dormant bulbs, as excess moisture can reduce their ability to persist.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Recommended pot size

Minimum 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) deep

Container gardening requires you to plan for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than plants in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location from the start that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Plant tulips in the fall, in soil that is still easy to work before it freezes. Choose a sunny, well-drained location, then loosen the soil to a sufficient depth. Place the bulbs pointy-end up and respect the planting depth indicated for their size. When planting in groups, leave space between the bulbs to allow roots to develop. Water after backfilling if the soil is dry. Avoid areas where water remains on the surface after rain and mark the planting location to avoid damaging the bulbs during subsequent gardening tasks. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than if they were in the ground.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

Which tulips are included in Foxtrot Fusion?

Plant tulips in the fall, in soil that is still easy to work before it freezes. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, then loosen the area to a sufficient depth. Place the bulbs with the pointed end up and respect the planting depth indicated for their size. When planting in groups, leave space between the bulbs to allow the roots to develop. Water after backfilling if the soil is dry. Avoid areas where water remains on the surface after rain and mark the planting so as not to damage the bulbs during subsequent gardening work. Keep a durable label to easily find this planting during its dormant period.

When should Foxtrot Fusion tulip bulbs be planted in Quebec?

The recommended exposure is from full sun to partial shade. Observe the light in your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it develops. If in a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure should go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.

Is Foxtrot Fusion suitable for container growing?

Water according to the actual moisture content of the soil, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at root level. Direct water to the base of the plant and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any water retained in saucers. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same inputs.

Can Foxtrot Fusion tulips be used in bouquets?

Container gardening requires you to plan for the necessary volume for the roots and the final height of the plant. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes, and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the recommended exposure and regularly check for moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan from the outset for a wintering location compatible with the needs of the plant and the climate of your region.

Are Foxtrot Fusion tulips safe for household pets?

In spring, monitor humidity during growth and water at the base if a dry spell continues. Remove faded flowers while keeping the leaves green. This foliage allows the bulb to replenish its reserves; wait for it to yellow naturally before cutting it and avoid braiding it. In containers, check for drying out more often than in the ground and always allow excess water to drain away. Subsequent years' recovery and flowering depend on the variety and growing conditions. Keep bulbs out of reach of children and animals: tulips are ornamental and not for consumption.
