What are Lily Flowered Tulips?

Lily flowered tulips are hybrids, they produce slender flowers, often with recurving, pointed petals. The stems are not very sturdy, making them prone to wind damage, so they are best planted in a sheltered position. Like most tulips, they bloom best the first year after planting. They will often bloom again in the second year, but with smaller and fewer flowers.

Planting Lily FLowered Tulip Bulbs

Plant lily flowered tulip bulbs just over 10cm deep, spacing them at least 8cm apart from one another, in a well draining but moist soil. Remember to take the heads off once they have finished flowering, this will put more energy back into the bulbs. You can lift the bulbs in June to remove any smaller bulblets that are too small for flowering.

Store tulip bulbs over summer in a cool dry position with plenty of air circulation and replant in autumn between October and December.
