tulip collection
A captivating tulip collection showcasing luxurious claret-purple, bronze-orange, and radiant tomato-red blooms, each adding an irresistible burst of colour and elegance.
How to care for Bold and beautiful tulip collection:
From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.
