Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Tulip 'Ice Stick' is an ideal choice for gardeners looking for early-spring interest in smaller spaces, offering a striking display of crimson-flushed, white-and-gold blooms. Perfect for patio containers, borders, and indoor arrangements, this Kaufmanniana variety brings color to the garden as early as March; however, users must exercise caution as the bulbs are skin irritants and harmful if ingested.

FAQs

When should I plant these tulip bulbs?

Plant them in late summer or autumn for the best results.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

The bulbs should be planted at a depth of 15cm.

Are these tulips safe for pets?

No, tulip bulbs are harmful if ingested and should be kept away from pets and children.

Can I grow these in containers?

Yes, their 30cm height makes them excellent for patio pots and containers.

What should I do after the flowers fade?

Deadhead the faded blooms, but leave the foliage until it has completely died back naturally.

How far apart should I space them?

Space the bulbs 13cm apart.

Troubleshooting

Flowers appear smaller or less vibrant than expected

This often occurs if the soil is too dry or lacks drainage; ensure bulbs are planted in moist, well-drained soil.

Foliage yellowing prematurely

Check for signs of waterlogging; ensure the bulbs are planted in a location that does not retain standing water.

Pros and Cons

  • Ideal early-season bloomer for spring interest
  • Compact height makes it versatile for pots and borders
  • Unique color patterns provide aesthetic variety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, plant your 'Ice Stick' bulbs in late summer or autumn. Choose a site with moist, well-drained soil that receives ample sunlight. Dig a hole to a depth of 15cm and space each bulb 13cm apart to prevent overcrowding.

After the flowering period ends, remove the faded blooms (deadheading) to redirect the plant's energy. Crucially, do not cut back the green foliage immediately. Allow the leaves to die back completely, which enables the bulb to store energy for the following season. Always wear gloves when handling the bulbs to avoid irritation, and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
