Tulip 'Hakuun'

Tulipa 'Hakuun'

Pre-order Now

Tulip 'Hakuun' is an elegant late-spring tulip prized for its large, luminous ivory-white blooms and graceful, refined form. The substantial flowers open to broad, gently rounded cups that seem to glow in evening light, bringing quiet sophistication to borders, cutting gardens, and carefully composed planting schemes.

Flowering later than many spring bulbs, 'Hakuun' extends the tulip season beautifully and bridges the transition from early bulbs into emerging perennials. Its strong stems withstand spring weather well, while the generous blooms pair effortlessly with white alliums, foxgloves, peonies, and fresh spring foliage.

Planted in generous drifts or repeated throughout a border, 'Hakuun' creates rhythm and continuity rather than demanding attention. It is one of those rare tulips that feels equally at home in formal gardens and relaxed cottage plantings.

One package contains 10 bulbs.

Bulbs will collect in your Trug until you're ready to checkout.

USDA Hardiness Zones

Zones 3–8

  • Reliably hardy in Zones 3–8

  • Returns well when planted in well-drained soil

  • In warmer climates (Zones 8 and above), pre-chilling bulbs for 8–10 weeks before planting may improve flowering.

  • Avoid poorly drained winter soils to prevent bulb rot.

  • Allow foliage to mature naturally after flowering to replenish the bulb for future seasons.

Planting Guide

Planting Depth

Plant 6–8 inches deep, measuring from the base of the bulb.

Planting Time

Plant in autumn after soil temperatures cool below approximately 60°F.

Spacing

Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart for a full display.

Site Selection

Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water stands during winter.

Planting Tips

Plant bulbs with the pointed end facing upward. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow natural winter moisture to sustain them until spring.

Garden Care

Water Requirements

Moderate during active growth. Once foliage has died back, bulbs prefer relatively dry summer conditions.

Fertilizer

Incorporate compost when planting or apply a balanced bulb fertilizer in autumn and again as shoots emerge in spring.

Maintenance

Remove spent flowers to prevent seed formation while leaving foliage intact until it yellows naturally. This allows energy to return to the bulb for next year's display.

Pests & Diseases

Generally dependable. Bulbs may be damaged by rodents in some gardens. Excellent drainage greatly reduces the risk of bulb rot.

Cut Flower Use

Harvest stems just as the flower begins to show color but before fully opening. Tulips continue to elongate after cutting and develop beautifully indoors. Fresh stems typically last 5–7 days in a vase and pair especially well with alliums, narcissus, peonies, and flowering branches.

Companion Plants

Beautifully combined with:

  • Allium 'Mount Everest'

  • Anemone coronaria 'The Bride'

  • Galanthus woronowii

  • White foxgloves

  • White peonies

  • Phlox 'David'

  • Campanula 'Alba'
