The Thompson and Morgan Tulip Ice Stick is designed for gardeners looking to add a vibrant, structural element to their spring displays. These bulbs offer the benefit of striking white, yellow, and crimson petals on compact 30cm stems, making them ideal for both borders and container gardening. One caveat to keep in mind is that the bulbs contain compounds that can act as an irritant to skin and eyes, so protective gear should be worn during handling.

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn for a spring bloom in March.
Plant the bulbs at a depth approximately three times the height of the bulb.
Yes, tulip bulbs can be harmful if ingested by pets and are also known skin irritants to humans; always handle with care and keep away from children and animals.
Yes, they are excellent for containers provided the pot has good drainage and the soil remains well-aerated.
In most garden conditions, you can leave them in the ground. Simply remove the flower head and let the foliage die back naturally.
Ensure they received sufficient winter cold and are planted in a spot with adequate sun exposure.
Check soil drainage; waterlogged soil can cause bulbs to rot before they reach full maturity.
This is often caused by lack of light; ensure they are in a sunny position to encourage strong, upright growth.
For optimal results, plant your Tulip Ice Stick bulbs in the autumn months to ensure they are established before their March bloom. Select a site that receives full sun and has excellent drainage; if your soil is heavy clay, mix in grit or horticultural sand to improve porosity. When handling, wear gardening gloves to avoid skin irritation. Plant each bulb at a depth roughly three times its height, with the pointed end facing upward. After flowering, remove faded blooms to focus the plant's energy back into the bulb for the following year, but allow the foliage to die back naturally before trimming.
