How to grow me

Tulips prefer a site with full or afternoon sun. White and lighter colour varieties are happy in part shade and help brighten up these spaces. Soil must be well-draining, neutral to slightly acidic, fertile, and dry or sandy. All tulips dislike areas with excessive moisture. Tall varieties should be sheltered from strong winds. Dig a trench/hole 20 cm deep, measuring from the base of the bulb and space the bulbs 10 - 15 cm apart. For best results tulips should be planted in October to early December to give the bulbs time to settle in and create new roots before the soil turns too cold. Tulips are technically perennial, but years of breeding to get the most beautiful blooms means that many varieties only flower reliably for one year. Many gardeners plant new bulbs each autumn to ensure a good display. This years flowering bulbs may flower again next year, in order to promote this the following should be done.

• Remove the flower head once this have gone over, by cutting off the Pistil ( the green centre of the flower that's left after the petals have fallen off). This will ( if left to grow) produce seeds which will take energy away from the bulb as the rest of the leaves and stem die back.
• Once the stem and leaves have gone brown pull the bulbs up and dry them out, trimming the bulb of any roots etc and store in a cool dry place until September for replanting.
• Separate the smaller bulbs that will have sprouted from the parent bulb, you can try growing these on in a pot perhaps but they probably only produce small leaves and will not flower for a couple of years if they are strong enough to develop.

*Drainage in the form of horticultural potting grit can be added to the soil directly under your bulbs to ensure the roots do not sit in water and rot away. Clay soil that retains water may need improvement for successful flowering.[endtab]
