Gardener’s Tip
Plant bulbs between September and December, around 8 cm deep in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded location. Triumph tulips perform particularly well when planted in groups or drifts, creating a fuller and more impactful spring display.
Wear gloves when handling bulbs, as ornamental bulbs may cause skin irritation and can be harmful if ingested by pets. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for strong blooms the following season.
