Introduce a splash of vibrant colour to your garden with the Bendigo Tulip, a variety that's impossible to overlook. Characterised by its compact form and striking, jagged red petals, this tulip is an excellent choice for border arrangements and container gardening. Its vivid hue ensures it stands out beautifully against lawns and walls. For maximum impact, consider planting these tulips in larger clusters or lines, making them an eye-catching addition to walkways and paths. The Bendigo Tulip also makes for a stunning inclusion in bouquets and floral arrangements.

These tulips are quite adaptable, thriving in a range of garden soils. The key is to ensure the soil is well-drained, not overly compact, and fertile. For optimal results, enrich the soil with humus, compost, or deacidified peat. In case of heavier soils, the addition of coarse-grained sand is recommended to prevent bulb rot. Planting should ideally take place in the autumn months of September and October, in locations that are either sunny or semi-shaded. Prior to planting, the soil should be loosened and cleared of weeds. Bulbs can be placed in individual holes or special bulb-planting baskets, with a planting depth not exceeding three times the height of the bulb. A layer of mulch post-planting can offer added protection against low temperatures. Come spring, remove the mulch to give the emerging sprouts better access to light.

This package includes 5 high-quality Bendigo Tulip bulbs, complete with a label that offers comprehensive planting and care instructions.
