Plant tulip bulbs from October to mid-December, once the weather has cooled. Until then, store them somewhere cool, dry and safely away from mice and squirrels.
'White Liberstar'
There are so many wonderful Tulip varieties out there that it would be difficult for any single variety to stand out above the rest. But White Liberstar tulips form part of a very special group of tulips called the crown- or coronet tulips that manages to do just that. They achieve this through their remarkable flower form, and the overall effect of Tulip 'White Liberstar' in bloom has to be seen to be believed.
Although Farmer Gracy has pretty much seen it all when it comes to tulips, our team was genuinely surprised and amazed when this new range of tulips began to be showcased at Keukenhof Gardens, the world’s largest park devoted to flower bulbs. Apart from being very unusual, it’s garden performance is superb and its long-lasting blooms will see you through from mid-spring until the season draws to a close.
As a very new and unusual variety, there’s a limited amount of stock available, so we’ll be supplying gardeners on a first-come-first-served basis. Don’t miss out! Reserve your Tulip 'White Liberstar' bulbs now.

Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, 15–20cm deep and around 10cm apart. You can leave a little more space between them in borders.
Water once after planting to settle the soil. Border-grown tulips rarely need further watering, but containers should be kept lightly moist and never waterlogged.
Remove faded flowers, then allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This helps the bulbs store energy for the following year.
