How to Grow
Tulip Black Satin
- Bulbs should be planted in late autumn, with the pointed end facing upwards, at a depth of approximately 3 times their height. Make sure that they are planted deep enough - shallow planting may prevent the bulbs receiving the necessary winter cold period that is essential for them to produce flowers in spring.
- Choose a sunny position in moist, free draining soil.
- Aftercare
- After flowering, allow the foliage to die back completely before removing it in June/ July.
