"Carnaval de Rio" is a very hardy variety that may be grown in full sun or partial shade. It requires soils rich in nutrients with a neutral or basic reaction. Proper permeability of the ground is the key to success, though, because the excess of water causes the bulbs to rot. Tulips should be planted to the ground in autumn into 10 – 12 cm deep holes. If you happen to have heavy soil in your garden, a drainage layer would be necessary. This variety stands out with extreme hardiness.
