Non hybrid
Frostproof
- Protection from rodents: Use wire baskets or place the bulbs in planting baskets to protect them from mice or voles. These animals like to nibble on the bulbs. - Remove withered flowers: Cut off the wilted flowers after flowering so that the plant can sprout new flowers. If you want to obtain seeds, leave the flowers on. However, tulips are traditionally not sown, but tulip bulbs are planted. - Replant after a few years: Tulips often flower more vigorously if they are replanted every few years. In flower beds, they can also be alternated with other plants to support soil life and prevent disease. The wild form, Tulipa bakeri, originates from Crete, where it colonizes humus-rich depressions on limestone. To thrive optimally, these dwarf tulips need a humus-rich, calcareous soil in a sunny, warm, well-drained location. This tulip is particularly suitable for growing in the wild, as it can spread quite strongly through runners in the ideal location. The numerous flowers with their particularly bright color can be enjoyed throughout April.
