FAQs
When is the best time to plant these tulips?
These bulbs should be planted in late summer or autumn to allow for a cooling period before spring flowering.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, they are excellent for patio containers. Ensure the pot has good drainage and the soil is kept moist but not waterlogged.
How deep should I plant the bulbs?
For best results, plant the bulbs 15cm deep.
Are these bulbs safe for pets?
No, these bulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep them stored safely away from pets and children.
Will they come back every year?
These are hardy bulbs guaranteed to flower in their first year, though performance in subsequent years depends on soil nutrition and climate conditions.
Do I need to fertilize them?
While not strictly required, a balanced bulb fertilizer can be added to the soil at the time of planting to encourage vigorous growth.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to emerge or stunted growth
Check soil drainage; bulbs sitting in standing water will rot. Ensure they were planted at the correct 15cm depth.
Weak or drooping stems
Ensure the site receives full sun. Tulips often lean or stretch when they do not receive sufficient light.
Skin irritation after planting
Wash the affected area immediately with soap and cold water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best growth, plant your Tulip Florist's Treat bulbs during late summer or autumn. Choose a site that receives plenty of sunlight and is well-sheltered.
- Preparation: Clear the area of weeds and ensure the soil is loose and fertile.
- Depth and Spacing: Bury each bulb 15cm deep to ensure stability and space them 13cm apart to allow for proper air circulation and root development.
- Soil Condition: Tulips require moist, well-drained soil. If you have heavy clay soil, add grit or sand to improve drainage.
- Handling: Always wear gloves when handling bulbs to avoid skin irritation. Wash hands thoroughly after planting.
- Maintenance: Water sparingly during the growing season and avoid waterlogging the soil. Keep the area free of debris.
