How to plant Viridiflora Tulip bulbs

When planting tulip bulbs, it is best to do so in the autumn months after the first frost hits, usually from October, although you can plant as late as early January. Plant tulip bulbs around 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart in well-draining soil with full sun exposure. Fertilise once or twice a year during the growing season with an all-purpose fertilizer such as 10-20-10. Water generously when the plants are growing in Spring.

Remove any dead or damaged foliage soon as possible and cut off faded flowers after have bloomed. This will encourage new blooms for the following season. Additionally, it is important to mulch around your tulip bed in order to retain moisture and protect from extreme temperatures throughout the winter months.
