Tolerant of a wide range of soils provided drainage is satisfactory.[Soil Type well drained humus rich]
Cultivation:
Remove flowers when they begin to fade. Tulips may be left in the soil (even though flowering degenerates) but they can also be lifted after the foliage fades, cleaned, stored and replanted again in autumn. Never plant tulips in the same location. Water well after planting.
