Tulipa Blue Ribbon

Plant your tulips as soon as possible in deeply loosened, well-drained soil, at a depth of 15 cm (6in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few cm apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Choose a sunny exposure for better flowering. Cut the flower stalks after flowering but allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them. After flowering, their foliage becomes unsightly so we recommend planting Heuchera, Tiarella, Brunnera, Bleeding Heart or Euphorbia Cyparissia, at the forefront of your flower beds. Their foliage will enhance the colours of your tulips and elegantly conceal their yellowed leaves.
