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.
'Candy Club'
Tulip 'Candy Club' is a multi-flowering tulip, so you can be sure of a profusion of blooms from every bulb you plant. But that’s not the best part. Candy Club tulips give you a sweet-shop spectrum of white and different shades of pink. The petals are white with a soft pink blush to begin with, but as time goes on, the long-lasting blooms colour to a deeper shade of pink. The multi-coloured, ever-changing effect is marvellous.
To make the most of your spectacular spectrum of pink shades, plant your tulips in generous drifts for an unforgettable display. Mass them in pots, let them brighten your borders and don’t forget to cut a few for the vase!
On the second image, you can see the beautiful combination of Tulip 'Candy Club' and Muscari armeniacum - it's a sight for sore eyes.

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.
