Gardener’s Tip

Plant bulbs between September and December, 8 cm deep in well-drained soil and in a sunny position for the best flowering performance. Tulips prefer soil that does not remain waterlogged over winter, 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 bulb can store energy for the following season’s blooms.
