They are not growing plants. The photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulbs are firm, top-size bulbs for autumn planting, suited to experienced gardeners and beginners alike. Tulips are fully hardy and can stay in the ground over winter. Plant late, in November, once the soil has cooled, which also helps avoid tulip fire. Plant in groups for the most dramatic effect, or mix with other spring bulbs for a succession of colour through the season. They also grow well in pots and containers, and the flowers are good for cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny spot with well-drained soil, as tulips dislike sitting in wet ground. After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally so the bulb can store energy for next year. In pots, use a free-draining compost and make sure the pots have drainage holes. Most modern tulips flower best in their first year and can dwindle in British gardens, so many gardeners replant fresh bulbs each autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cairns Tulip, Spring Tulip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulipa 'Cairns'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 40-50cm tall (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, single stemmed with a cup-shaped flower head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, containers, patio pots, cutting gardens, spring bedding schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Broad, strap-like grey-green leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15-20cm deep, pointed end facing upwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun; sheltered from strong winds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil; avoid waterlogged conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy spring-flowering bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152657871068,"sku":"COL-BULB-TUL-CAI-15","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_df25d8f6-9ded-4189-851e-5e8576350bc9.png?v=1794155032","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-tul-cai-15","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
