Care Guide

Tulip Yellow is very straightforward to grow, requiring only minimal care to thrive.

Planting

• When to plant: Plant bulbs in autumn (September–November), before the ground freezes.

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

• Grouping: Plant in clusters of 10 or more for a dramatic display.

• Containers: Use multipurpose compost mixed with grit to improve drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Water well after planting.

• During growth, water in dry conditions, particularly for pots and containers.

• Add a balanced bulb fertiliser in early spring when shoots emerge.

Aftercare

• Remove faded flowers to prevent seed formation, but leave foliage until it dies back naturally.

• Do not tie or cut foliage prematurely, as leaves feed the bulb for next year’s display.

• Tulips can be treated as annuals, but bulbs may also be lifted, dried, and replanted in autumn if you want to reuse them.

Protection

• Fully hardy in the ground, but pots may need shelter in severe frost.

• Protect bulbs from waterlogged soil, which can cause rot.

• Young shoots may be vulnerable to slugs or snails in early spring.
