These bulbs deliver striking cinnamon and rose-pink blooms that reach a height of 50cm, offering excellent weather resistance for both outdoor borders and container displays.

FAQs

When do these tulips bloom?

These tulips typically bloom during the month of April.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

Plant the bulbs approximately 15cm deep, with the pointed end facing upwards.

Can I grow these in containers?

Yes, they perform exceptionally well in containers as long as the pot has adequate drainage holes and high-quality, well-draining soil.

How long do the cut flowers last?

When properly cared for and placed in fresh water, these blooms can last up to 10 days in a vase.

Do I need to lift the bulbs after flowering?

It is not strictly necessary to lift them, but you must allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing it to ensure the bulb stores enough energy for the next year.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout

Check if the soil is waterlogged; if the soil is too wet during winter, the bulb may have rotted. Ensure planting site has proper drainage.

Stems bending or collapsing

While these are sturdy, extremely high winds or lack of sunlight can cause stretching. Ensure they are in a sunny spot to encourage shorter, stronger growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success with your Thompson and Morgan bulbs, follow these guidelines:

  1. Timing: Plant bulbs in the autumn to ensure they are established before the ground freezes.
  2. Location: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  3. Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained. If planting in heavy clay, incorporate organic matter or grit into the planting hole to improve aeration.
  4. Planting Depth: Plant the bulbs at a depth of approximately 15cm (about three times the height of the bulb) with the pointed end facing upward.
  5. Maintenance: After blooming in April, allow the foliage to die back naturally. This process nourishes the bulb for the following year's growth. Avoid cutting back the green leaves until they have turned yellow or brown.
