Very hardy, they multiply easily.

The pointed petals open in the sun, curling back to form an elegant calyx with a shiny black centre. The foliage is a bluish green colour.

Planting and care

Plant your tulips as soon as possible in a well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 8 cm (3in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few cm apart, making sure they do not touch. Choose a sunny location for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stalks and allow the leaves to completely dry before cutting them. Advice: Flowering Carpets You can create beautiful flower spaces around the house, in flowerbeds, around trees, or in wild spaces. It is an economical and sustainable solution, provided you follow a few principles: 1) This is a planting to leave in place. 2) Choose the varieties carefully based on the specific area. 3) A resting period is essential after flowering for the bulbs to regenerate. Let the foliage turn yellow and dry before cutting it. 4) Organic fertiliser should be spread once a year in autumn.
