How do I plant Tulip bulbs?

We recommend planting tulip bulbs in October, they need a minimum of six weeks in the ground, so you can plant them as late as January. Plant tulip bulbs pointed side up into a hole of around 10-12cm deep and 8-10cm apart. If you are planting lots, rather than individually, we recommend digging a larger area and folding the soil back over. Tulips like good drainage, so you might need to add some grit to help excess water flow away.

We recommend lifting tulip bulbs after they have flowered as they don’t perform well the next year. This is because the tulip bulb produces many smaller bulbs after flowering and the original bulb withers away. You can see more here
