Tulips are a universally cherished choice for those who appreciate bulbous plants. They are not only straightforward to grow but also highly ornamental, offering a diverse range of varieties to complement any garden. These plants thrive in well-drained, light, and moderately moist soil, and they prefer sunlit locations. Planting typically takes place in the autumn months, either in September or October. The bulbs should be set in holes that are 12-15 cm deep, spaced 10-15 cm apart. As spring arrives, anticipate a flourish of leaves, soon followed by the flower-bearing shoots. Routine care includes weeding, watering, and fertilising. After the flowering season, it's advisable to pollard the plants, thereby strengthening the bulbs and minimising disease risk. Although these tulips can remain in the ground during their summer dormancy, replanting them the following autumn ensures a consistently vibrant bloom year after year.

This GIGA pack contains a generous 250 'Blackjack' tulip bulbs, each accompanied by a label providing essential cultivation guidelines. With this substantial set, you're well-equipped to create a breathtaking, large-scale display of the Tulip 'Blackjack' in your garden.
