Troubleshooting
Tulips failing to bloom
Check for adequate sun exposure; tulips require full sun to develop flowers properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, plant these bulbs between September and November while the soil is still workable. Select a location that receives full sun, as shade may lead to weak, leggy stems. Dig holes approximately 100-150 mm deep, placing the bulbs with the pointed end facing upward. Ensure the soil is well-drained; if you have heavy clay soil, mix in horticultural grit to improve drainage. During the growing season, keep the soil moderately moist, but avoid overwatering. Once flowering finishes in May, allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing it, as this allows the bulb to store energy for the following year's growth.
