How to plant tulip bulbs

Plant tulip bulbs in autumn, when the soil has cooled down but is moist, this will activate the growth of roots before winter. Tulip bulbs are an easy bulb to grow, plant in any soil type and grow in full sun or semi shade. If you are planting in pots don’t let the soil dry out and leave plenty of room for the roots. Try to avoid using only compost, mix in some grit and garden soil with some drainage at the bottom. Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm deep and 8-10 cm apart in autumn between September and December, taller varieties should be sheltered from strong winds.

They will be shipped to you from the middle of September once we have received the bulbs.

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.
