Instructions
Top Tip
As a shorter variety, Tulip 'White Fire' looks absolutely brilliant when clustered tightly at the very front of your flower beds. Allow the leaves to turn yellow and die back on their own to guarantee strong blooms the next year.
How to Water
Give your freshly planted Tulip 'White Fire' bulbs a good drink of water to encourage strong, deep roots. Rely on natural spring rainfall for their hydration, only intervening with a watering can during prolonged droughts.
How to Plant
Place your Tulip 'White Fire' bulbs 10cm below the soil surface between September and December. Selecting a well-lit, free-draining border will help these striking white and red flowers reach their full potential.
