Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Tulip Foxtrot Collection is designed for home gardeners looking to add romantic, peony-like aesthetics to patio pots, containers, or smaller flower borders. Featuring the blush-pink 'Foxtrot' and the sunset-toned 'Foxy Foxtrot', this collection provides a high-impact, fragrant display with minimal space requirements. While these tulips offer exceptional texture and color, they require well-drained soil and a consistent fertilizing routine to ensure optimal blooms each season.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant these tulips?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, prior to the onset of the hardest winter frosts.

Can I grow these in containers?

Yes, they are specifically selected for their compact size, making them ideal for patio pots and containers.

Do I need to lift the bulbs after flowering?

While not strictly necessary, you can leave them in the ground if the soil remains well-drained throughout the winter.

Are these bulbs suitable for UK winters?

Yes, the Foxtrot collection is hardy and specifically suited to withstand UK winter weather.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

A good rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth of three times the height of the bulb.

Can I use these for indoor bouquets?

Absolutely; their sturdy stems and fragrance make them excellent choices for indoor cut flower arrangements.

Troubleshooting

Poor or no bloom production

Ensure the bulbs are planted in a location receiving full sun and verify that the soil is not waterlogged.

Bulbs rotting in the ground

The soil is likely too heavy or retains too much moisture. Amend the soil with grit or move the bulbs to a well-drained container.

Stunted growth

Check for proper fertilization and ensure the bulbs are not being overcrowded by other aggressive plant species.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, plant your bulbs in autumn in a location that receives full sun. Ensure the planting site features well-drained soil; if planting in pots, use a high-quality peat-free bulb compost and add grit to improve drainage. Plant bulbs at a depth roughly three times their own height. Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer at the time of planting to encourage root development. Once the flowering period has concluded, apply a second round of fertilizer to help the bulb store energy for the following year. Remove dead flower heads once they wilt to keep the plant looking tidy.
