Top Tip
To truly appreciate the unique fringed edges of Tulip 'Purple Crystal', plant them at the front of your borders or in patio containers. These highly bred bulbs often perform best when treated as annuals and replaced each year for maximum impact.
How to Water
A generous initial watering is required right after planting your Tulip 'Purple Crystal' to stimulate early root growth. Throughout the spring, just keep an eye on the rainfall and water only when the topsoil feels completely dry.
How to Plant
Settle your Tulip 'Purple Crystal' bulbs into the ground between September and December at a depth of around 15cm. They perform best when placed in a sunny, free-draining position that prevents the bulbs from sitting in cold water.
