The slender cups have pointed petals that curve gracefully outwards.

Plant the colours at random. Tulips like well-drained soil; if your garden stays wet, mix some sand into the soil. In a pot, give them a drainage layer of gravel or clay pebbles; among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-es\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e you will find a suitable model. After flowering, only cut off the spent flower and leave the foliage until it turns yellow, so the bulb stores food for next year. A little bulb fertiliser in autumn or early spring is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Tulip bulbs Ballade mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn open ground the bulbs need little water.
