Product description
Tulips are amongst the most popular of bulbs, valued for their brilliant flower colours and shapes. Plant in autumn for a show of spring flowers. Choose from a large range to suit the situation.
Sturdy and colourful, these magnificent tulips begin to bloom in early April, and with superb weather resistance they will continue for longer than most garden varieties. The bold colours and strong upright stems make this mix particularly good for cutting.

Instructions
Top Tip
To extend bloom time, deadhead tulips after flowering and let the foliage die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for next year.
How to Water
Water tulips lightly after planting to settle the soil. Once they begin to grow, water regularly but avoid soggy conditions. Reduce watering once the flowers begin to fade, allowing the foliage to die back naturally.
How to Plant
Plant tulip bulbs in well-drained soil, 15-20cm deep and 4-6 inches apart. Choose a sunny location and ensure the pointed end of the bulb faces up. Plant in autumn for spring blooms, ensuring the soil is loose and well-drained.
