Allegro Collection

Plant your tulips as soon as possible in well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply and plant 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 location for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stalks but allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them off. After flowering the foliage becomes unsightly so we recommend planting Heuchera, Tiarella, Brunnera, Bleeding Heart or Euphorbia Cyparissia at the front of your flower beds. The foliage of these plants will enhance the colours of your tulips and, over the season, they will elegantly conceal their yellowing leaves. For Anemones: Plant in the sun in good garden soil, at a depth of 8 cm (3in), spaced 8 cm (3in) apart, and do not worry about the planting direction. Mulch in winter to protect the plant.

We advise leaving these bulbs in place as it is only after two or three years that they will produce the maximum effect.
