Planting Time

Plant El Cid tulip bulbs between September and late October. Soil warmth during this period encourages quick root development and supports healthy spring growth.

Planting Depth

Set the bulbs 10-12 cm deep in the soil. This depth provides protection from winter frost and helps the plants establish a strong base for upright growth.

Spacing

Allow approximately 10 cm between each bulb. This spacing gives each plant enough room to develop, resulting in a fuller and more balanced display of flowers.

Height

Mature El Cid tulips reach 35-40 cm in height. Their moderate stature allows them to blend well with other spring garden bulbs, whether planted in groups or as part of a mixed border.

Flowering Time

El Cid tulips bloom from April to May. During these weeks, their intense burgundy-yellow flowers add a lively accent to any garden, making them a focal point in spring plantings.

Hardiness & Overwintering

This variety is fully hardy and winters easily in the ground. There is no need to lift the bulbs for the colder months, which simplifies care and is ideal for gardeners seeking perennial bulbs that return each year.

Uses

El Cid tulips are suitable for traditional borders, patio containers, and balconies. Their vivid colour complements other spring plants and they are also valued for cut flower arrangements. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for those selecting bulbs for gardens from a trusted garden shop.
