Tulip Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Autumn (September–November), before the first hard frost.
• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade.
• Soil: Well-drained soil is essential; tulips dislike waterlogged conditions. Neutral to slightly acidic pH is ideal.
• Caring For Your Tulips: Water after planting and during dry spells in spring. Deadhead spent flowers but leave foliage until yellowed naturally—this helps bulbs store energy for next year’s blooms.
• Hardiness: Hardy throughout the UK (USDA zones 3–8).

Design Ideas & Companion Plants

• Create bold spring borders by mixing these tulips with daffodils (Narcissus) and grape hyacinths (Muscari). Their similar care needs make them ideal partners.
• Tulips also shine in containers—combine with pansies or forget-me-nots for layered pots bursting with colour.

FAQs

• When should I plant these tulip bulbs?
  Plant bulbs in autumn (September–November) before the ground freezes for best results.
• How deep should I plant the bulbs?
  Bury each bulb at a depth about three times its height—typically 10–15cm deep—in well-drained soil.
• Will these tulips return every year?
  Tulips are perennial but perform best if lifted and stored after flowering or replanted annually for maximum impact.
