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 April
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.

These started soft yellow and faded to pure white. They flowered for weeks in pots. Planted with soft yellow daffs and pale blue and yellow violas. They faded to white in time to match the apple blossom above.
Beautiful
