These bulbs produce stunning dark, berry-purple blooms that often feature multiple flowers per stem, making them perfect for both garden borders and decorative containers.

These bulbs should be planted in late summer or autumn to ensure they establish properly before the spring growing season.
Yes, their 45cm height and compact habit make them excellent candidates for containers and patio pots, provided there is good drainage.
Some parts of the plant are technically edible, but caution is advised as they may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Plant the bulbs at a depth of 15cm for optimal growth and stability.
Deadhead the spent flowers, but leave the foliage until it dies back naturally to ensure the bulb stores energy for next year.
The bulbs contain compounds that can act as irritants to skin and eyes, so protective gloves are recommended during handling.
Ensure they were planted at the correct depth of 15cm and that the soil has adequate drainage to prevent winter rot.
Check that the planting site receives sufficient sunlight; these tulips require a sunny position to develop full-sized stems and blooms.
Immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and avoid touching your eyes; always use gardening gloves for future handling.
For the best results, plant your bulbs in late summer or autumn. Dig holes to a depth of 15cm and space each bulb 13cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development. Ensure the bulbs are positioned in a sunny, sheltered spot with moist, well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas as this can lead to bulb decay. Once flowering has finished, deadhead the spent blooms to divert energy back into the bulb for the following season. It is vital to leave the foliage in place until it has turned yellow and withered naturally; this stage allows the plant to store the necessary energy for next year's growth. Always wear gloves when handling bulbs to prevent skin irritation.
