Tulip Colour Blend - My Heartthrob

Get the heart pumping with this daring cocktail of orange, black and lacy lemon. The dark petals bring out the best in the pair of warmly shaded tulips. Overall it is a sharp blend.

Our Tulip Blends take the guess work out of creating a fantastic Tulip display. We have chosen varieties that bloom at the same time, using colours that work well together, so you know the display is going to look amazing.

Tulips look best en masse and these economical blends allow you to create these beautiful displays with ease.

Tulips may have a reputation for being `Prima Donnas’ but in most cases this is undeserved. When you buy a bulb the flower is already pre-formed, ready to bloom. All you need to do is plant them into well drained soil in a sunny spot, water and enjoy the show.

A simple way to remember when to plant your tulips is around Mother`s Day. It doesn’t have to be on the day, it just serves as an easy marker. The timing is ideal as the soil has cooled sufficiently for planting and the really hot autumn days are usually done and dusted.

All our bulbs are ready to grow; they do not need to be chilled, which is one less thing to do.

When growing tulips in pots, we recommend regular watering as potting mix is perfectly drained, so dries out quickly. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. In warm weather you may need to water daily to get the most out of them. If they are left too dry they tend to flower short, or abort their buds. We also suggest the addition of some fertiliser as they begin to grow to ensure the best show.

IN POTS:
This is our recommendation for the best display, keeping in mind bulbs look best when planted nice and close together.
20cm/8” = 3 bulbs
25cm/10” = 5 bulbs
