Lily Flowering Tulip Mixture
T1875
Description
Flowering throughout May, this superior collection of tulip bulbs contains an exquisite mix of colourful blooms for the garden. The elongated, typically goblet-shaped flowerheads of majestic, lily-flowering tulips add a luxurious look, outstretching to star-like forms when fully open.
Plant the bulbs en masse to create striking swathes and blocks of colour and fill your spring pots for eye-catching displays. All well-known, and several award-winning varieties within this mix make excellent cut flowers, lasting for several days in the vase and many weeks in the garden.
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.
