Troubleshooting

Tulips failing to bloom

Ensure they are planted in a site with full sun and that the soil provides adequate drainage.

This often occurs due to lack of sunlight or excessive wind; ensure they are in a sheltered, sunny spot.

Bulbs rotting in the ground

Check soil drainage; if the soil is too heavy, mix in sand or grit to improve aeration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting should take place in late summer or autumn to allow the bulbs to establish roots before winter. Dig a hole to a depth of 15cm and space the bulbs 13cm apart to ensure adequate airflow and root expansion. Choose a sunny, sheltered location with moist, well-drained soil. If planting in pots, ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent rot. After the flowers fade, perform deadheading by cutting off the spent blooms to divert energy back into the bulb. Most importantly, wait until the foliage has turned yellow and died back completely in summer before removing it, as the leaves are necessary for storing energy for the following season. Always wear gloves during planting and handling to avoid skin irritation.
