How to plant tulip bulbs

Plant tulip bulbs around 10cm deep in well-draining soil. A loam mix is ideal but any soil will be fine if you mix in some grit. Tulips do not like to sit in water over winter. If it is a particularly wet winter try putting pots under cover. It is equally important not to let tulip bulbs dry out once they have started to grow as this will stunt the flower bud. Tulip bulbs can be planted in either full sun or dappled shade.
