The Thompson and Morgan Tulip Mid World Friendship is an ideal choice for home gardeners looking to add vibrant color to their spring landscapes. These bulbs produce elegant, goblet-shaped primrose yellow flowers that perform beautifully in garden borders, containers, or as cut flower arrangements. While these bulbs offer stunning mid-spring blooms and reliable return year after year, gardeners should note that they require well-drained, moist soil to thrive and are best suited for sunny, sheltered locations to protect their 40cm stems.

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.
A general rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth of three times the height of the bulb, typically 10-15cm deep.
Yes, they grow exceptionally well in containers. Ensure your pot has drainage holes and is at least 20cm deep.
No, they are perennial and can be left in the ground or in their pots year-round, provided the soil remains well-drained.
While many gardeners find tulips are attractive to wildlife, planting them in a protected area or using wire mesh can help deter pests.
Store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, such as a paper bag in a garage or shed, until you are ready to plant.
Check soil drainage; waterlogged soil during winter often causes bulbs to rot before they can sprout.
The location may be too shaded; tulips require direct sunlight to grow sturdy, upright stems.
Ensure you are feeding with a potassium-rich fertilizer after flowering and allowing the foliage to fully wither before removal.
To ensure success, plant your bulbs in autumn in a spot that receives full sunlight and is sheltered from harsh, drying winds. Soil should be fertile, moist, and well-drained; if your soil is heavy clay, mix in horticultural grit or sand to improve drainage and prevent the bulbs from sitting in water. Plant bulbs with the 'nose' or pointed end facing upward. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally rather than cutting it down immediately, as the leaves are necessary to recharge the bulb for the following year's bloom. If planting in containers, ensure the pots have adequate drainage holes and use a quality peat-free bulb compost.
