Care Guide

Tulip Red-Yellow is very easy to grow and requires little maintenance once planted.

Planting

• When to plant: Plant bulbs in autumn (September to November) before frost sets in.

• Depth & spacing: Plant about 10–15cm deep and 8–10cm apart.

• Grouping: Plant in clusters of 10 or more for a bold impact.

• Containers: Use multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Water after planting to settle the bulbs.

• During the growing season, water in dry periods, particularly if growing in pots.

• Add a general-purpose bulb fertiliser when shoots appear in spring.

Aftercare

• Deadhead flowers once faded, but leave the foliage to die back naturally – this allows the bulb to store energy.

• Avoid cutting or tying the leaves prematurely.

• Tulips can be treated as annuals, but if reusing, lift bulbs after foliage dies back, dry them, and replant in autumn.

Protection

• Fully hardy, though bulbs in pots may benefit from shelter in extreme frost.

• Protect from waterlogging, which can rot bulbs.

• Watch for pests such as slugs around young shoots in spring.
