  4. Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards.
  5. Gently cover the bulb and lightly compress the soil.
  6. Use a fertiliser in early spring, when new growth appears to support healthy blooms.

Tulip Red Riding Hood – Tips

• Choose a location that receives full sun, ideally at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. This helps produce larger bulbs.
• After flowering, deadhead spent blooms to redirect energy back into the bulb and allow foliage to die back naturally before removing it to help replenish nutrients for next year’s growth.
• Avoid putting tulips and daffodils in a vase together due to daffodils letting out a substance that can prevent tulips from taking up water.
