In heavy soils add grit and humus matter to help with drainage. In light soils well rotted compost will help retain water. Regularly feed during the growing season with foods such as well rotted manures, Tomato feed and bone meal or tomato food will provide food for continued flowering.
Care Tips:
The saxatillis, Minnow and Muscari will come back each year, the tulips do not always flower as well in their second year.
