Tulips like well-drained soil; if your garden stays wet, mix some sand into the soil. In a pot, give them a drainage layer of gravel or clay pebbles; among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grienbubble.com\/en\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e you will find a suitable model. For the vase, cut the stems when the buds are just showing colour, leaving as much foliage on the plant as possible. After flowering, only cut off the spent flower and leave the foliage until it turns yellow, so the bulb stores food for next year. A little bulb fertiliser in autumn or early spring is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Tulip bulbs Sweet Desire mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn open ground the bulbs need little water.
