I need a dwarf tulip to complement Estella Rynveld. What do you suggest and do you have it in stock?
Hello there
We have the following dwarf tulips that I think would work very well with Estella Rynveld:
Tulip Heart’s Delight (harts11402)
Tulip ‘Concerto’ (harts11401)
Or for a bolder contrast:
Tulip ‘Stresa’ (SKU1762111)

When is the best time to plant tulips?
We advise planting tulip bulbs in the Autumn, preferably in October/November, after the firsts frosts as this will wipe out any viral and fungal diseases that may be in the soil and which may infect the bulbs. Planting later in the year means there is less risk of disease and this is when the tulip bulbs start putting their roots down. More information on how to plant tulips can be found here:

Mini Tulip Giuseppe Verdi, would these bulbs be suitable for growing indoors in a large bowl? If not, could you recommend some spring bulbs that are. Many thanks
You can plant the Guiseppe Verdi tulips outside in a pot/container and then bring them inside once they are flowering.
The other bulbs we would recommend for indoor flowering and this would be in time for Christmas would be Hyacinths and Amaryllis (Amaryllis bulbs are due online soon).

Hi,
Is there a shortage of tulip bulbs this year? Everywhere I have tried to buy any says they are out of stock, literally every garden centre & nursery! Also online sites too. What has happened?
Kind regards
Linda
Hi there Linda
As you’ve experienced, you can’t really purchase tulip bulbs this time of year as they require planting in the Autumn (ideally after the first frost to kill off any virus that may be found in the ground). They will then flower in the Spring. Our tulips will be available to order in the Summer and we will start to dispatch them at the end of September. Hope this helps.

I have a project coming up and the client would like tulips but I am wary of using them as in the past I have planted some that have only lasted the first year. Is there any that are reliable year on year for flowering.
Many thanks
Hi there,
Tulips can be quite susceptible to viruses in the summer and therefore require lifting after flowering (late spring/early summer when they’ve completely died back) and storing until the first frosts in the Autumn. The frost will kill off an virus in the soil.
We would suggest planting the viridiflora varieties as these are less susceptible to viruses.
