Tulip ‘Pick Magic’
Tulip ‘Pick Magic’ is an enchanting Double Tulip, its sumptuous petals opening in a painterly blend of blush pink, apricot, and warm ivory. Gently ruffled and edged with a fine fringe—like lace on silk—the blooms shimmer with delicate detail, catching the morning light with a soft, glistening touch. Their peony-like fullness gives an air of generosity, while the fringed tips bring a surprising twist of texture that lifts the flower into something quietly extraordinary.

Blooming in mid to late spring, ‘Pick Magic’ stands around 14–16 inches (35–40 cm) tall, perfectly suited for front-of-border planting, winding paths, or spring containers. Its pastel tones bring a soothing palette to the garden, making it a gentle but unmistakable presence among spring’s more boisterous colors.

Position: Thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Plant in clusters for a romantic drift of color, or thread between darker tulips for contrast that highlights its airy elegance.

Style tip: Try pairing ‘Pick Magic’ with the smoky mauves of ‘Blue Heron’ or the deep shadows of ‘Queen of Night’ to let its soft tones glow. The fringed edges also add beautiful movement to cut flower arrangements—especially when contrasted with sleek tulips or airy spring foliage.

Why it captivates: ‘Pick Magic’ is a tulip of quiet drama—abundant in form, gentle in color, and edged with unexpected charm. It brings a sense of whimsy and wonder, like the soft rustle of silk in a spring breeze, and leaves the garden just a little more magical in its wake.

How to Plant & Grow Tulips

Quick Planting Guide

Planting time: Fall, after soil has cooled (September–November, depending on climate)
Soil: Well-draining, fertile, sandy or loamy
Depth & spacing: 6–8" deep, 4–6" apart
Light: Full sun (at least 6 hours daily)
Bloom: Mid–spring (varies by variety: early, mid, or late spring)

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the bulbs
Tulip bulbs are plump, teardrop-shaped, with a pointed tip.
Plant in fall once soil has cooled but before the ground freezes.

2. Choose the planting site
Select a sunny spot with well-draining soil — tulips dislike soggy ground.
They grow beautifully in borders, beds, containers, or naturalized in grassy areas.
Improve heavy soil with compost and sharp sand or grit.

3. Plant the bulbs
Plant bulbs 6–8" deep and 4–6" apart.
Pointed tip faces upward.
Water well after planting to settle soil.

4. Growing on & care

• Watering: Little water is needed over winter. In spring, keep soil lightly moist during active growth and bloom.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer at planting and again when shoots emerge in spring.

• Mulching: A light mulch layer protects bulbs from winter temperature swings.

5. Bloom time
Tulips bloom from early to late spring depending on the variety.
Flowers range from classic single cups to fringed, peony-flowered, or parrot styles, in nearly every color.

6. After flowering
Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation.
Leave foliage intact until it yellows and withers — this allows the bulb to recharge.
In many climates, tulips perform best as annuals — replant fresh bulbs each fall for the strongest displays.
In well-drained soil, some perennialize and return for several years.

Tips for Success

• Plant in groups of 10+ for the best impact.

• Combine early, mid, and late-season varieties for weeks of continuous bloom.

• Tulips are excellent in containers — layer with other spring bulbs for a “bulb lasagna” effect.

• Protect from rodents by lining planting holes with chicken wire or using bulb cages.
