Tulip presented here does not differ from other plants of its species regarding cultivation requirements. To ensure the proper colouring of the flowers, you must provide it with the healthy dose of sunlight and nutrients. The reaction of the soil should be between 6.0 and 7.0 pH. Tulips prefer permeable, light, and moderately moist soils.

Planting tulips is a task that should be performed in autumn. Place bulbs in holes that are 12 to 15 centimetres deep, keeping them 10 to 15 centimetres apart. Bulbs will produce leaves in early spring. The foliage is quickly followed by stems with flowers. Taking care of tulips is virtually limited to weeding, watering, and fertilizing. Top the plants after the flowers have wilted. This measure strengthens bulbs and reduces the spreading of diseases. Plants enter the summer dormancy after their intensive growth and producing flowers. You can leave the bulbs in the ground but it is recommended to dig them out and plant again in autumn.
