Growing Guide & Care Instructions

• Planting Time: Best planted in autumn (September–November) before the first hard frost.
• Soil Preferences: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil; avoid waterlogged sites. Neutral to slightly acidic pH is ideal.
• Sun Requirements: Thrives in full sun but will tolerate partial shade.
• Caring Tips: Plant bulbs at a depth of three times their height (approx. 10–15cm deep). Water after planting and keep soil moist but not soggy. No pruning required—simply allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed next year’s growth.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy throughout the UK. Mulch in colder areas if desired for extra protection.
• Fertilising: Apply a balanced bulb fertiliser at planting time and again as shoots emerge in spring.

Create Stunning Displays & Arrangements

• Borders & Beds: Plant in groups for bold impact or mix with other spring bulbs like daffodils (Narcissus) or hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis) for a layered effect.
• Pots & Containers: Ideal for patios—combine with violas or pansies for an extended season of colour.
• Bouquets: Cut blooms just as they open for the longest vase life; pair with greenery or other spring flowers for professional-looking arrangements.

FAQs

• When should I plant these tulip bulbs?
  Plant between September and November before the ground freezes, for best results in spring.
• How deep should I plant each bulb?
  Plant each bulb about 10–15cm deep—roughly three times the bulb’s height—with the pointed end facing upwards.
• Do these tulips come back every year?
  Tulips can return annually if planted deeply in well-drained soil and allowed to die back naturally after flowering. For best performance, replant fresh bulbs every few years.
