I planted 20 bulbs last autumn, and I got 20 tulips this spring! Really pleased: the tulips aren't tall, so they don't get blown over by the wind, they've all produced two flowers, and their colours are as bright as I like. The bulbs are strong: some planted in the lawn managed to push through the grass to flower. I'll buy more in other colours to complete the set :)

Planting and care

Plant your bulbs as soon as possible in well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 10cm (4in) (the bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few centimetres apart, making sure they do not touch. Choose a sunny exposure for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stalks and let the leaves dry completely before cutting them.
