Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Fosteriana Mix, often admired for its green colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to pots & containers.

Tulipa 'Fosteriana Mix' brings a composed, early-spring flourish to beds, borders and containers. Chosen for bold colour in a curated blend, this Fosteriana selection stands well on strong stems and settles naturally into generous drifts—equally at home in a formal scheme or a more relaxed planting.

Plant in autumn and look forward to a confident show from March to May. The cup-shaped blooms are also a fine choice for cutting, lending fresh, clean lines to spring arrangements.

Where to Plant:

Tulipa 'Fosteriana Mix' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 10–12cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
