| 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. |
| Flowering | Late April - May |
| Vase Life | Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper and soak for 8 hrs. This helps keep the stems straight. |

If You Only Have Room For One Variety of Tulip
Reviewed 16th June 2014 by Lilly1314 It has to be this one. Feds gracefully, good and strong and previous year's mix in well with new planting this year, just smaller and a little paler, but true to type. |
