🌷 Follow these easy steps for a blooming wonderful display of tulips in Spring!

🌷 Plant your cold-treated bulbs as soon as you receive them.
🌷 Plant in semi-shade, away from sun-drenched walls or paving. Loosen the soil well.
🌷 Pots should be positioned in semi-shade and must have good drainage. Once in flower, containers may be brought indoors.
🌷 Plant bulbs with the points upwards, spaced about 2-8cm apart, and covered with 5cm of soil and 2cm of mulch (old compost is best). As not all varieties flower at the same time, group same varieties together.
🌷 For a massed effect in pots, plant the bulbs approximately 2cm apart, and cover with a little soil and 2cm of mulch (old compost is best).
🌷 Keep continually moist at root level, (especially in pots) by watering every 2 to 3 days.

Flowering time: 10 weeks after planting. After flowering, your tulip bulb may be discarded.

Top Tips for Blooming Bulbs in Containers!

🌼 Select the Right Pot Size: Match the pot size to the type of bulbs you're growing. Smaller pots work for hyacinths, but a large container is needed for a grand display of lilies. Give your bulbs space for their roots to run free and ensure the pot you select has drainage holes at the bottom.

🌼 Use Quality Potting Medium: Opt for a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. Add compost to the soil, and incorporate sand if needed to enhance drainage.

🌼 Ideal Placement: Position your containers where they will receive morning sun and afternoon shade.

🌼 Get Creative: Try bulb layering in containers or grow your spring flowering beauties hydroponically.

🌼 Decorative Touches: Add pansies and violas to your containers for extra colour while your bulbs are growing.

🌼 Watering Tips: If using a saucer, or cover pot, make sure to empty it shortly after watering to prevent waterlogging.
