Designed for gardeners who appreciate understated elegance, the Thompson & Morgan Tulip 'Spring Green' is an RHS Award of Garden Merit variety that offers ivory blooms with striking apple-green streaks. It is an excellent choice for creating a sophisticated focal point in sunny borders or for use as high-quality cut flowers; however, gardeners should note that the bulbs are an irritant to skin and eyes and must be handled with care during the planting process.

Tulip bulbs should be planted in the autumn months to allow them to establish roots before the dormant winter period.
Yes, they can be grown in containers provided the pots have adequate drainage holes and are filled with a free-draining compost.
While many tulips are prone to grazing, the best way to protect them is by using physical barriers or commercial repellents if deer are common in your area.
If your soil is well-drained, they can be left in the ground. If you live in an area with very wet summers, lifting and storing them in a cool, dry place is recommended.
Plant the bulbs at a depth of 15cm to provide enough insulation and structural support for the stems.
Check soil drainage; bulbs sitting in standing water will often fail to thrive or may rot entirely.
Ensure the foliage was allowed to die back naturally the previous season, as premature removal prevents the bulb from recharging.
Immediately wash the affected area with soap and water; ensure you wear protective gloves during future handling.
To ensure the best results, select a planting site that receives full sunlight and offers protection from heavy winds that could damage the long stems. Ensure the soil is fertile, moist, and well-drained; these bulbs will struggle in waterlogged conditions. Plant each bulb at a depth of 15cm, keeping a distance of 13cm between each bulb. After the flowers fade, follow the 'deadheading' process by removing the seed head, but leave the green foliage intact until it turns yellow and dies back naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season. Always wear gloves when handling the bulbs due to their irritant nature.
