Plant the bulbs from October to mid-December for flowers in March, April and May.

Tulip bulbs

Tulips flower from March into May, depending on the variety. Botanical tulips and Greigii tulips flower early and stay short, which makes them a good fit for the front of a border and for pots. Triumph and Darwin tulips flower in April and May on long stems and also make good cut flowers. Double tulips have full blooms that look a little like peonies.

Plant tulip bulbs from October to mid-December, about 10 to 15 centimetres deep, in a sunny spot with free-draining soil. For a full display, space them 10 to 12 centimetres apart. The per m² calculator turns your area into a number of bulbs, then the page puts together the best-value bags.

For a longer flowering season, combine tulips with early crocus bulbs and with allium, which flowers after the tulips. Tulips look their best in the first year. If you want a full border every spring, plant more each autumn. Tulips are toxic to cats and dogs, especially the bulb.

Frequently asked questions

When should you plant tulip bulbs?

Tulip bulbs are planted in autumn, from October to mid-December, when the soil has cooled down but is not yet frozen. They grow roots before winter and flower in March, April or May, depending on the variety.

How many tulip bulbs do you need per m²?

With a spacing of 10 to 12 centimetres you need about 80 tulip bulbs per square metre for a full display. The calculator on the product page turns your area straight into a number of bulbs.

Can you plant tulip bulbs in a pot?

Yes, tulips do well in a large pot with a drainage hole. Plant the bulbs closer together than in the garden, almost touching, and make sure water can drain away. In a hard frost, move the pot against the wall of the house.

Do tulips come back every year?

They flower best in their first spring. After that, many tulips produce fewer or smaller flowers. Botanical tulips often last longer. If you want a full border every year, plant new bulbs each autumn.
