The Thompson & Morgan Tulip 'Dafeng' is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking to add a high-impact, vibrant splash of fiery orange and bold red to their landscape. These Darwin Hybrid tulips are perfectly suited for both novice and experienced growers looking for robust, tall-stemmed blooms that excel in garden borders or as cut flowers. While they provide a reliable, repeat-flowering performance year after year, success is dependent on planting them in well-drained soil to prevent bulb rot during the dormant season.

Plant these bulbs in late summer to autumn to allow them to establish roots before the ground freezes.
Bulbs should be planted at a depth of approximately 15cm in well-drained soil.
No, they are hardy perennials and can be left in the ground if the soil drainage is sufficient.
Yes, they perform well in deep containers, provided you use a well-draining potting mix and keep the soil moist.
Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer in early spring and do not remove the foliage until it has turned yellow and withered naturally.
Ensure the bulbs were planted in well-drained soil and that the foliage was allowed to die back completely after flowering rather than being cut prematurely.
Check that the planting site receives full sun and verify that the soil moisture levels remained consistent during the rapid growth phase.
To ensure optimal growth, plant your bulbs from late summer through autumn in a location that receives full sun. The soil must be well-drained; if you have heavy clay soil, mix in horticultural grit to improve drainage and prevent the bulbs from rotting. During the active growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. As shoots appear in early spring, apply a balanced bulb fertilizer to support strong stem development and flower production. After flowering has finished, allow the foliage to die back naturally to ensure the bulb stores enough energy for the following year.
