Care Guide
October to November are the optimum months for planting Tulip bulbs. The cooler late-autumn temperatures help to keep disease at bay, whilst still allowing time for your bulbs to put roots down before spring.
Any well-drained, fertile soil is perfect for Tulips, ideally in full sun or part shade. Plant the bulbs 10-20 cm deep, spaced 10-20 cm apart. A piece of chicken wire or mesh can be placed on top of the soil or pots after planting if squirrels or rodents are a problem in your area.
After flowering in March to May, remove withered stems, foliage and any fallen petals to promote good plant health and apply a top dressing of high-potash fertiliser in late winter.

Schubertii
M5017
Showy Allium ‘Schubertii’ explodes into action during May and June with its large, sparkler-like blooms of mallow-purple. The tubular flowers are held out on long pedicles at varying lengths, creating a striking and impressive effect in the border.
This dramatic allium Schubertii is extremely popular for cutting and using in floral displays. Left to dry, it provides stunning textured material for winter interest in the garden and for decorative, ornamental use in the home, especially at Christmastime.
Plant the bulbs in well-drained soil in a spot in full sun. In colder regions, mulch the planting area in autumn to provide winter protection or bring pots undercover for the coldest months.
