 Planting Information

Easy to grow and very showy flowers in the garden. In our nursery we grow a lot of fringed tulips because they are striking. The flowers of fringed tulips need to be seen to be enjoyed, each flower is edged with crystal like fringes. These tulips work really well when planted in tubs, pots and containers but also hold their own when planted in the garden especially if they are planted in groups of 10 or more. When planting ensure the soil is cultivated to a depth of 15 to 20cms and is free draining, in the heavier soils add grit and rotted humus material to give extra drainage.

Plant bulbs with the pointed bit upwards at a depth of 10-15cms (deeper in sandy/loose soils) and 8-10cms apart. When planting in containers planting depths and distances are governed by container size and number bulbs you want to put in. Plant tulips when the ground starts to cool down which is often in October. Tulips do benefit from using bulb starter when first planting.

Care Tips:’

Plant in partial shade for the flowers to last longer.
