Sweet, light tulips will also adorn pots and baskets. Cut them anytime you wish to create a small, cheerful bouquet. This variety provides excellent and sturdy cut flowers.

A botanical tulip is easy to grow. It likes sunny situations. Its soil requirements are limited to permeability and moderate humidity. The bulbs of the 'Batalinii Bright Gem' tulip should be planted in autumn, possibly in September and October. Plant them the triple height of a bulb deep and circa 8 cm apart.  The bulbs do not need to be excavated, they will grow on one site for years. Tulip tufts will spread every year thanks to the developing bulbils. The transplanting and dividing should take place after the leaves dry, end of June and at the beginning of July. Dry the excavated bulbs and store them in an airy place until the planting in autumn.
