Tulip Spring Green -MASTER-

This traditionally shaped tulip is made up of silky cream petals; each adorned with a gentle spring green stripe true to its name. Each perfectly formed cup-shaped bloom stands on a matching yellow-green stem with broad lance-shaped leaves. SpringGreen is a valuable spring variety which works wonderfully at breaking up large blocks of colour, but also exudes elegance when planted on its own in a patio pot.Don't forget that tulips like to be planted late in October and November with the colder weather (it helps wipe out disease, too.)

Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
