Description
The tulip is the quintessential spring flower, blooming from April to May in a nearly endless array of colors and forms depending on the variety. The bulbous plant is suitable for beds, containers, and as a cut flower. Early, mid, and late varieties can be combined for a long flowering period.
Care instructions
Plant the bulbs from September to November at a depth about twice their height in well‑draining soil on a sunny site. Allow the foliage to fully die back after flowering before removing it, so the bulb stores energy for the next year. In heavy, wet soils, lift the bulbs after the foliage has died back and store them dry over the summer.
