Sowing, Seeds, Planting October - December
Care Tips Don't plant tulip bulbs until the cold weather has set in – this helps wipe out viral and fungal diseases. Leave the browning foliage on your tulips until every leaf has died right down – this allows the bulb to store more food and increases the chances of good flowering the following year.
Flowering April - May
Vase Life Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper to hold the stems ram-rod straight and leave to drink for at least 3 hours – or overnight. This helps keep the stems straight, but tulips do continue to grow after picking so curves may appear.

Reviewed 24th April 2017 by Oana Harrison

A very elegant collection and most beautiful scent on tulip Ballerina. Also, a lot of people commented on how beautiful tulip Sarah Raven was. Didn't grow very tall but maybe that was because April was very dry this year and I didn't think to water them. All in all I was very pleased with this collection.
