Plant these bulbs in late summer or autumn to ensure they establish roots before the ground freezes.
Yes, their 40cm height makes them excellent for pots, window boxes, and containers.
For optimal results, plant each bulb at a depth of approximately 15cm.
No, you must allow the foliage to die back naturally. This allows the plant to send nutrients back into the bulb for the following season.
Yes, the Foxtrot variety features lightly fragrant blooms.
They thrive in fertile, moist, but well-drained soil.
Ensure they were planted at the correct depth of 15cm and that the soil is not overly saturated or waterlogged.
While these stems are sturdy, ensure they are receiving enough sunlight; tulips grown in deep shade often stretch toward the light and become unstable.
For best results, plant the Foxtrot bulbs during the late summer or autumn months to allow for critical winter root development. Choose a site that receives plenty of sunlight and offers protection from harsh winds. Dig holes approximately 15cm deep and space each bulb 13cm apart to provide sufficient airflow and room for growth. Ensure the soil is moist yet well-drained; if you are planting in heavy clay, add grit to the base of the hole to improve drainage. After the flowering season concludes, deadhead the faded blooms, but allow the foliage to yellow and die back completely naturally. This process allows the bulb to store energy for the next year's growth.
