TULIP Tall Flowering Mixed-

Planted as bulbs, tulips provide spring flowers in dazzling colours and flower shapes. Grow them in borders, rock gardens and containers before summer flowers appear. Specialist tulips related to wild species often multiply in gardens.

Tulip Care:

1. Planting:

• Plant tulip bulbs in the fall before the ground freezes. Choose a well-draining location with full to partial sun.

2. Soil:

• Tulips prefer well-draining soil. Sandy or loamy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH is suitable.

3. Watering:

• Water the tulips well after planting. During the growing season, provide regular water, especially if there is a lack of rainfall.

4. Fertilization:

• Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the time of planting. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flower formation.

5. Mulching:

• Mulch around the tulips to help conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

6. Deadheading:

• Remove spent flowers to prevent the tulip from using energy to produce seeds. This encourages the plant to focus on bulb development.

7. Winter Care:

• In colder climates, tulips are typically hardy. Mulch the soil around the bulbs to protect them from extreme cold temperatures.

8. Pest and Disease Management:

• Watch for pests like aphids or diseases like tulip fire. Treat any issues promptly.
