The Strong Love tulip stands for elegance and style. This classic, bright red Triumph tulip belongs to the most valuable cut flowers. Together with yellow and blue, red constitutes one of the basic colours of spring. Strong Love combines a perfect simple form of single-flowered tulip with a royal colour. This up to 45 centimetres tall plant is perfectly suited for home gardens. It harmoniously complements lawns and public greenery when planted in larger groups. Bright red flowers of this variety, adorned with a touch of raspberry pink, unfold at the end of April and beginning of May. Strong Love tulips are our proposal for gardeners who like sturdy plants that can also adorn interiors.
Tulips belongs to plants that are easy to grow. They produce most flowers on sunny and partially shaded sites. Tulips prefer permeable, fertile soils that contain substantial amounts of nutrients. Tulip bulbs should not be planted in waterlogging, clay, and compact soil. They quickly rot in such conditions. Growing and taking care of tulips is easy. Feed them with a multicomponent fertilizer during the phase of intensive growth and water them in periods of drought.
Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to November, keeping them 10 to 15 centimetres apart. Adjust planting depth to the size of the bulb. Put them at the depth that equals thrice their height. Water the spot moderately after pressing the soil tightly over the bulb. It is recommended to cover the site with straw or dry bark before the winter. Every three or four years, excavate the bulbs in June or July after the leaves have wilted. Store them, after drying and cleaning them of soil, in dry and ventilated boxes.
