Whether its a huge bunch sitting in a beautiful vase somewhere in your house or stretching as far as the eye can see in a park, tulips really add a more solid patch of colour to any area inside or out.
The bulb fields in Holland are really worth a visit at the end of April, so pop over for a weekend.
Tulips like to grow in full sun and if you want flowers every year you must feed the bulbs whilst they are flowering and for a month afterwards. Dont cut the leaves off after flowering but let them die down. They prefer a fairly dry soil in the summer to rest.
 
Move your tulip bulbs around put them in a nice pot or bowl in the autumn and water once a week through till the spring. Dont put them in a damp dark part of the garden when they are finished because if the slugs dont get them wet conditions will.
