Gardening: Set your garden ablaze with colour
Tulpis come from mountainous regions of Turkey and thrive on cold winters and hot summers.
Now is a good time to buy tulip bulbs, but it is still a little bit early to plant them.
This warm spell is not really good for them because they can get a disease called tulip fire.
Planting after the first frost when the soil is cold will help to avoid this.
The bulbs should be planted to a depth two or three times the tulip bulb’s height.
Species tulips naturalise well and so do Darwin hybrids, but with other varieties reflowering after their first season can be a bit hit and miss.
In their first season they provide a stunning show – exotic, colourful and stately.
Their arrival in late spring also provides a progression of colour after the daffodils and crocuses are over.
I generally plant tulips in containers at the outset, then replant them in the garden after the leaves have died down after flowering.
When the flowers are over they should be deadheaded.
