Product description
Peach Blossom is a double tulip variety with a yellow centre bordered with a white halo, surrounded by deep cool pink petals fading to baby pink at the tips. Each cup-shaped flower head sits atop a sturdy blue-green stem. Team this pretty pink tulip with Muscari for a cool toned display, as the blues will really bring out Peach Blossom's pink petals and yellow centres. Don't forget that tulips like to be planted late in October and November with the colder weather (it helps wipe out disease, too.)
Plant bulbs in well dug soil about 8-10cm deep and approx 15cm apart. It is often beneficial to use a little bonemeal or super phosphate mixed in with the soil. Tulips delight during their growth in a sunny location.
After the tulips have bloomed and when leaves fade and turn brown the bulbs can be lifted, dried, cleaned and stored in a cool place until planting time. Tulips should not be grown in the same soil for several years, so replace with fresh soil every other year.

Instructions
Top Tip
To extend bloom time, deadhead tulips after flowering and let the foliage die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for next year.
How to Water
Water tulips lightly after planting to settle the soil. Once they begin to grow, water regularly but avoid soggy conditions. Reduce watering once the flowers begin to fade, allowing the foliage to die back naturally.
How to Plant
Plant tulip bulbs in well-drained soil, 15-20cm deep and 4-6 inches apart. Choose a sunny location and ensure the pointed end of the bulb faces up. Plant in autumn for spring blooms, ensuring the soil is loose and well-drained.
