What are fringed Tulips?

Fringed Tulips are, as the name suggests, tulips with a fine fringe around the edges of the petals. They are simpler than Parrot Tulips, and are available in a wide range of colours.

How do I plant Tulip bulbs?

Tulip bulbs start with a good source of moisture and nutrients stored within the bulb, so you don’t need to feed, soak, or prepare them in any way. To get the best results, plant them in moist soil during autumn, this will activate the growth of the roots before winter.

Choose an area with well-draining soil and full sun exposure, as these are necessary conditions for successful growth. Plant each bulb four inches deep and six inches apart, making sure to keep them upright and pointed side up. Taller varieties should be sheltered from strong winds to avoid stem breakage.

Once tulip bulbs are planted, it’s important to keep them well-watered. They like moist soil so make sure to water them regularly, especially during dry periods of weather. Adding fertiliser can be beneficial.

How do I store tulip bulbs?

Once your Tulips have bloomed you can deadhead the flowers but do not remove the leaves. These will ensure the bulbs are able to gather and store the energy needed to bloom again the following year.

Tulip bulbs can be kept in the ground all year round, but you may find that they don’t put on as much of a display as the previous year.

Once the foliage has yellowed and died back, it can be removed, then carefully dig the tulip bulbs up. Clean the soil off and let the bulbs dry. Discard any damaged ones. Store tulip bulbs in nets or paper bags, but make sure you label them. Keep in a cool dark place ready to replant in the Autumn. You can read more about why and how you should lift tulip bulbs.
