Tulip

Tulips are one of the most beloved flowers in the world, known for their vibrant colours and elegant shape. They make an excellent addition to any garden. Whether they are in pots or borders they can bring stunning colours come Spring. In addition to making excellent cut flowers they are also amazing pollinators for Bees.
November is the perfect month to plant them. So why not order them in now to avoid disappointment. 
One of the key factors for successful Tulip growth is soil temperature. Tulip bulbs need a period of cold dormancy to develop properly. By planting them in November, you ensure that the bulbs are exposed to the right soil temperature for an extended period. This allows them to establish strong roots and prepare for a beautiful spring bloom.
Planting Tulip bulbs in November also offers protection from common pests. Many garden pests, such as squirrels and mice, are active during the warmer months. By planting in November, the bulbs have time to settle in and develop roots before pests become active, reducing the risk of damage to the bulbs.
Tulips typically take around 12 to 16 weeks to bloom after planting. By planting in November, you give the bulbs enough time to establish roots and go through the necessary chilling period. This means that when spring arrives, your tulips will bring colour and beauty to your garden.

So grab your gardening tools and get ready to enjoy a stunning display of tulip flowers come spring!
