Planting Guide

• Plant in autumn, ideally from October to December.
• November is an excellent time to plant tulip bulbs.
• Choose a position in full sun or light partial shade.
• Prefers fertile, well-drained soil.
• Avoid areas that remain waterlogged during winter.
• Plant bulbs approximately 10–15cm deep.
• Position each bulb with the pointed end facing upwards.
• Space bulbs approximately 8–10cm apart.
• For maximum impact, plant the bulbs together in groups or drifts.
• Water after planting if the soil is particularly dry.

Planting in Containers

Triumph Tulips are excellent for creating colourful spring patio displays.

• Choose a container with adequate drainage holes.
• Use good-quality multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.
• Plant bulbs relatively close together without allowing them to touch.
• Cover the bulbs with approximately 10cm of compost.

For a longer flowering display, combine them with Crocus, Muscari and Narcissus in layered bulb containers.

Care & Maintenance
