The Thompson & Morgan Tulip Prince Mix is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add early spring elegance to their outdoor spaces, blending the soft lilac hues of 'Candy Prince' with the deep ruby tones of 'Ruby Prince'. Designed for both novice and experienced gardeners, this collection provides sturdy, compact blooms perfect for borders, pathways, and patio containers; however, success relies on ensuring the bulbs are planted in well-drained soil to prevent rot during the wetter winter months.

Plant the bulbs at a depth roughly three times their own height to provide stability and protection.
Yes, their compact growth habit makes them an excellent choice for containers and patio pots.
While not strictly necessary, lifting bulbs after the foliage dies back is recommended if you have very wet or heavy soil to prevent rot.
Allow the foliage to turn yellow and die back naturally before removing it; this helps the bulb store energy for next year.
Yes, they are fully hardy and designed to withstand standard UK winter frost conditions.
Apply a balanced fertiliser once during the initial planting and again in early spring when the shoots first appear.
Ensure they were planted in well-draining soil and not at a depth exceeding three times the bulb size.
Check for signs of pests like aphids or slugs; ensure the soil has not become waterlogged, which can rot the root system.
Ensure the site receives full sun exposure and supplement with a balanced fertiliser in early spring.
For optimal growth, plant your bulbs in a location that receives full sun. Use a free-draining soil mix; if your garden soil is heavy clay, incorporate grit or horticultural sand at the bottom of the planting hole to improve drainage. Plant the bulbs at a depth approximately three times their height. During the winter, keep the soil moist but avoid over-watering to prevent the bulbs from sitting in stagnant water. Apply a balanced granular fertiliser during the initial planting phase and provide a second light feeding in early spring as the green shoots emerge. Once flowering concludes, leave the foliage to die back naturally, as this allows the bulb to store energy for the following year.
