Tulip bulbs that are planted in autumn will grow well in almost every kind of garden soil, provided it is permeable and not too compact. They need a site that have access to sunlight for five to six hours a day in order to develop properly. You can plant them in the vicinity of deciduous trees and shrubs, whose foliage is not fully developed during the tulip flowering period. Plant bulbs of this tulip variety from ten to fifteen centimetres deep. Provide the bulbs with water after planting in order to let them take root before the winter. If you have not used compost to enrich the soil before planting, you can feed tulips with multicomponent fertilizers until the flowering. Water tulips until the leaves start to yellow naturally. You do not have to dig out the bulbs each year, though we recommend to do so. Dry and clean the bulbs that you excavate at the end of June and at the beginning of July. Store them in a properly ventilated dark room.
