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.
If you’re looking to achieve a tulip combo which is effortlessly perfect, look no further than Tulip collection 'Symbiose Pastels'. This mix of 'Symbiose' tulips is perfectly coordinated in terms of flower shape, size, flowering time and heavenly pastel hues. All you need to do is plant the bulbs in a pot or border in autumn and look forward to a show-off display which looks as though it was carefully curated in your garden by a pro designer. In fact, this mix has been carefully considered for you, so you can achieve those professional results with minimal fuss.
Each tulip in the Tulip collection 'Symbiose Pastels' is a double bloom, which means extra petals and ultimate luxury. The colours are a range of fruity tones including lemon, orange, peach and raspberry. In April, these lovely, long-lasting blooms will emerge and provide a fantastic fruitbowl of colour which lasts for weeks and brings a huge helping of spring cheer. If you’re into growing your own cut flowers, a bunch of these tulips look just as delightful in a vase as they do in the garden.

Plant calendar
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.
