Gardener’s Tip

Plant bulbs between September and December, 8 cm deep in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Tulips perform best in soil that drains well through the winter months, so improving heavy soil with grit or compost will help encourage healthy growth.

Wear gloves when handling bulbs and keep them away from pets, as ornamental bulbs can cause irritation and may be harmful if ingested. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for strong blooms the following spring.
