Double Fringed Tulip 'Queensland'
Tulips need at least six hours of sun a day to flower at their best but keep them protected from afternoon sun. Tulips also need good, drained soil. Dig a hole as deep as three times the bulb height. Put the tulip with the tip up and roots down, in the hole. Cover it with soil, give a little bit of water and wait for the magic to happen. If you live in warm climates, you will need to place your bulbs in the fridge for 4 to 6 weeks before planting. After flowering and all leaves have turned brown, remove the bulb from the soil. You then store the bulb in a cool, dry and airy position. It’s a good idea to wrap it in some newspaper or a brown-paper bag.
