Product Information
Full details
The Tulip White Dream (16 Pack) by Thompson & Morgan is designed for home gardeners looking to add sophisticated, ice-white accents to their spring garden beds or border arrangements. These bulbs offer the benefit of hardy, cup-shaped flowers that work equally well as landscape centerpieces or indoor cut arrangements, though gardeners should be aware that they require a mandatory winter cold period to successfully initiate blooming.

FAQs
When is the best time to plant Tulip White Dream?
Tulip bulbs should be planted in the autumn, allowing them to establish roots before the ground freezes.
Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, they perform well in containers provided the pots have drainage holes and the potting mix is well-drained.
Do I need to lift the bulbs every year?
It is not strictly necessary, but lifting and storing them in a cool, dry place can prevent overcrowding and disease in some garden conditions.
How deep should I plant them?
Plant the bulbs approximately 10-15cm deep, or roughly three times the height of the bulb.
Will these return next year?
Tulip White Dream can return if the foliage is allowed to die back naturally after flowering, though performance may decline over several years compared to the first season.
Troubleshooting
Tulips failing to bloom in spring
The bulbs likely did not receive a sufficient period of cold temperatures during the winter; ensure they are planted deep enough and kept in a cold-hardy environment.
Stems rotting at the base
This usually indicates poor drainage or over-watering. Improve soil aeration by adding grit or sand and reduce frequency of irrigation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Instructions:
- Choose a site in full sun with fertile, moist, but well-drained soil.
- Plant bulbs at a depth of approximately 10-15cm, with the pointed end facing upward.
- Space bulbs 10cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root expansion.
- Apply a balanced granular fertilizer at the time of planting to provide nutrients for early root development.
Maintenance:
- Ensure the soil remains moist but never waterlogged to prevent bulb rot.
- Apply a second round of balanced fertilizer in early spring as the first shoots emerge.
- Remove faded flower heads once blooming concludes, but leave the foliage until it has turned yellow to allow the bulb to store energy for the next year.
