Care guide

Using fresh, good-quality compost, plant bulbs in pots from September to November. For borders, we advise waiting until after the first frosts (typically mid-October to early December depending on your location) to reduce the risk of potential disease such as Tulip Fire. Plant bulbs 15-20cm (6-8in) deep and 10-15cm (4-6in) apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq or 60-75 bulbs per m². If you’re unable to plant your bulbs immediately, they can be stored in a cool environment with good air circulation. Remove all the packaging and place them in a loose-weave jute sack before labelling and hanging up in a dry, unheated garden shed or well-ventilated greenhouse.

In spring, when the plants are in active growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser (like Tomorite) each week until the leaves start to die back. Pinch off the spent flower heads as the petals fall, and let the stem and foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be lifted and discarded, or cleaned, dried and stored (as before) for replanting the following autumn.

Features

  • In each collection you will receive the following bulbs.
  • 7 x Tulipa 'Aladdin': This lily-flowered tulip makes a wonderful addition to pots and containers, as well as adding style to the early summer bedding scheme. The petals are long and pointed and their red colouring is feathered with yellow towards the outer edges. Each flower has an hourglass shape, that gives them an elegant air. Grows to 50cm.
  • 7 x Tulipa 'Johan Cruijff': Boasting champagne-coloured petals adorned with a subtle pink blush, 'Johan Cruijff' offers a vision of understated elegance that matures gracefully into a soft white hue. Named after the legendary Dutch football player and manager, its lily-shaped blooms unfold in creamy yellow tones, delicately transitioning to a gentle pink before culminating in a pristine white finale. Grows to 50 cm.
  • 7 x Tulipa 'Ballerina': A lovely lily-flowered tulip with soft tangerine orange flowers, and a heady scent when warmed in the sun. This is a late spring-flowering tulip that looks stunning planted in bold drifts or growing up through forget-me-not flowers. Grows to 50 cm.
