{"product_id":"tulpenbollen-little-beauty","title":"Tulip bulbs Little Beauty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tulip bulbs Little Beauty are bulbs of a small botanical tulip with soft pink cups that open wide in the sun. They grow to only about 10 to 15 centimetres tall. Thanks to that compact size they stay neat in wind and rain, and as a botanical tulip they reliably return year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulbs are size 6\/+, a normal size for this small tulip. They suit the front of the border, the edge of a path, a rock garden or window boxes and pots. With 25 bulbs you fill a pot or window box, with 50 bulbs a spot at the front of the border. With 100 or 200 bulbs you can plant a whole strip or bed; because this tulip stays small, allow 75 to 100 bulbs per square metre. Combine them with other low \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-at\/collections\/tulpenbollen\"\u003etulip bulbs\u003c\/a\u003e or place them in front of taller tulips.

The bulbs will then still form roots before winter without sprouting too early. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can plant until December. The bulbs need the winter cold to flower in April and May, so do not plant them in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen do the Tulip bulbs Little Beauty flower?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tulip bulbs Little Beauty flower in April and May. Each flower stays beautiful for about two weeks; on sunny days the cups open wide and in the evening they close again. In a pot in a warm spot they often flower a little earlier, after a cold spring a little later. If you let the foliage die back after flowering, they return every spring and the clumps slowly fill out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and tips Tulip bulbs Little Beauty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulbs pointed end up, about 8 to 10 centimetres deep and 5 centimetres apart. Botanical tulips like well-drained, preferably rather lean soil; if your garden stays wet, mix some sand or fine gravel into the soil. In a pot or window box, give them a drainage layer of gravel or clay pebbles; among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-at\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e you will find a suitable model. A few stems look charming in a small, low vase. After flowering, only cut off the spent flower and leave the foliage until it turns yellow. A small amount of bulb fertiliser in early spring is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Tulip bulbs Little Beauty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn open ground the bulbs need little water. Only water after planting if the autumn is very dry. In a pot, water about once a week in spring as soon as the leaves appear. Never leave water standing in the saucer, because bulbs in wet soil will rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLight needs of the Tulip bulbs Little Beauty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive them a sunny spot with at least six hours of sun a day.
