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.

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

Yes, their 30cm height makes them excellent for patio pots and containers.
Deadhead the faded blooms, but leave the foliage until it has completely died back naturally.
Space the bulbs 13cm apart.
This often occurs if the soil is too dry or lacks drainage; ensure bulbs are planted in moist, well-drained soil.
Check for signs of waterlogging; ensure the bulbs are planted in a location that does not retain standing water.
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.
