Planting Tulips in the Pots
- If planting in Pots, find a large container and fill it with good-quality, multi-purpose compost. Ensure there is adequate draining holes. Again, plant 12cm below the soil surface.

Hart's Hint
Tulips need to be planted in the Autumn, preferably in October/November, after the first frost as this will wipe out any viral and fungal diseases that may be in the soil which may infect the bulbs.

Care Instructions
How to care for Tulips
- Deadhead the flowers during the season before the petals fall off.
- After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
- Water as needed during active growth periods.
- By mid summer the leaves may yellow and die back. Foliage may be removed at this point.
- Some tulips flower well for one year and then need lifting out of the soil and carefully stored if you want to use them again. Once everything has fully died back, you can lift them and store them in a dark, dry, airy place over summer, allowing the air to circulate around them. They can then be replanted in the Autumn.
