Care and Planting Tips

• Plant in pots from September to November using fresh, good-quality compost.

• For borders, plant after the first frosts, typically from mid-October to early December depending on your location, to help reduce the risk of tulip fire.

• Plant bulbs 15–20cm deep and 10–15cm apart in well-drained soil.

• If planting is delayed, remove the packaging and store bulbs in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

• During active spring growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser according to the product instructions until the leaves begin to die back.

• Remove faded flower heads and allow the stems and foliage to die back naturally. Bulbs can then be lifted, cleaned, dried and stored for autumn replanting.
