Care Guide
How to care for your Tulip Bulbs
Quick Care Steps
Planting
Plant in autumn, 15–20 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart, pointed end up.
Location
Choose a sunny, well-drained spot. Avoid areas prone to waterlogging.
After flowering
Deadhead spent flowers but allow foliage to die back naturally — this feeds the bulb.
Lifting
Lift bulbs in summer once foliage has died. Dry and store in a cool, dry place until autumn.
Common Issues & Fixes
Bulbs rotting
Waterlogged soil. Improve drainage or plant in raised beds.
Failure to flower
Bulbs need a cold period. Ensure they are planted in autumn, not spring.
Short stems
Planted too shallow. Plant at least 15 cm deep next season.
