FAQs

When should I plant Tulip 'Black Cherry Frost' bulbs?
Plant between September and November, before the first frosts.

How do I care for tulips after they bloom?
Deadhead spent flowers but leave the foliage to die back fully. This helps bulbs store energy for the next season.

What soil and position are best?
Tulips prefer fertile, well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade. Avoid sites with persistent dampness, which can cause bulb rot.
