You receive 15 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant. They are not growing plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single late tulip (Group 5), Purple Heart looks rich beside whites, pinks and pale yellows, which makes it a favourite for mixed spring schemes. The sturdy stems also make it a good tulip for cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulbs in autumn, pointed end up, about 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart, in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Tulips dislike waterlogged ground. They are fully hardy in the UK and also grow well in pots and patio containers: use a peat-free compost with added grit for drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the flowers have finished, let the foliage die back naturally so it feeds the bulb. Tulip bulbs often dwindle after the first year or two in British gardens, so plant fresh bulbs each autumn if you want the best display.\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\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulipa spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulip 'Purple Heart'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 45-55cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, with strong sturdy stems and large goblet-shaped flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, beds, containers, patio pots and cut flower arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, typically mid to late spring (April to May)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep purple-violet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November, ideally November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 10-15cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152663310556,"sku":"COL-BULB-TUL-PUR-HEA-15","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_0436e74b-ed9a-4664-b929-781ee4ab7913.png?v=1794155132","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-tul-pur-hea-15","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
