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.

Tulip
'Danique'
If you want something a little different from the ordinary, then you must grow Tulip 'Danique'. It's a beautiful, unique, multi-flowering tulip. Each star-shaped bloom has petals that are predominately dusky, peach-pink, but with centres of black and yellow—which make a fabulous contrast. It was bred from tulip cultivars that are known to be challenging to breed—the breeders did all of the hard work, so you don’t have to. It was well worth the effort!
Botanical Tulip 'Danique' is strongly perennial—in other words it will permanently colonize an area when it’s in a position it likes, unlike the large Darwin-like hybrids that are recommended to be lifted and replanted each year. It is one of the many treasures of the tulip family that can provide wonderful diversity to your garden.

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.
