Top Tips

Which way up? Usually pointy end up, but if you are not sure, plant the bulb on its side and it will eventually right itself.

Care Guide

Planting advice for your tulip bulbs:

• Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
• Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
• They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they?ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
• Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
• While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
• Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
• If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Aftercare advice for your tulip bulb collection:

• Tulips can be planted as late as November, but it?s best to get your bulbs in the ground so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
• Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
• Water frequently and if in posts ensure that the compost doesn’t dry out.
