🌷 Flower of the Month: Tulip
Elegant, colourful and unmistakably spring-like, tulips are one of the season’s true highlights. Their bright blooms bring instant cheer to beds, borders and containers, making them a much-loved favourite in gardens across the UK.
Originally admired for their simple beauty and wide range of colours, tulips come in many shapes and sizes - from classic cup-shaped blooms to ruffled and multi-petalled varieties. Whether you prefer soft pastels or bold, vibrant shades, there’s a tulip to suit every garden style.
🌿 Tulip care at a glance:
• Thrive in well-drained, fertile soil
• Prefer a spot in full sun to partial shade
• Grow best where the soil doesn’t stay too wet
• Ideal for beds, borders, pots and spring displays
✨ Top tip:
If you’re planning ahead for next spring, tulip bulbs are best planted in autumn, when the soil has cooled. For now, enjoy their beautiful blooms and take note of your favourite varieties for later in the year.
Tulips are a wonderful reminder that brighter days are here - and that spring colour is always worth the wait 🌸
