Product Description
With immensely pretty, single flowers of ivory-white streaked with green, 'Spring Green' adds stunning highlights to any springtime garden, patio, or decking.
With long-lasting, single blooms appearing from late April into May, this viridiflora is perfect for combining with early and late spring-flowering bulbs to extend seasonal garden colour.
Slightly feathery, cup-shaped flowers grow on tall, sturdy stems and introduce a crisp and elegant note to the front or middle of a border. They harmonise beautifully with lush perennial or silvery-green foliage and make a stunning cut flower display.
Easy to grow and fully deserving of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Spring Green' is a proven performer, and the bulbs will naturalise well, flowering repeatedly when left in place. Alternatively, they can be lifted for replanting the following autumn.
For best impact, plant in groups in borders or pots with bright yellow daffodils or plum-coloured tulips for a wonderful contrast. Plant in a sunny or lightly shaded position in rich, well-drained soil.
Supplied as a pack of 20 bulbs ready for planting.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Care Guide
Planting Advice for your tulip bulbs:
- Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
- Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
- They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they'll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
- Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
- While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.
Aftercare Advice for your tulip bulb collection:
- Tulips can be planted as late as November, but it's best to get your bulbs in the ground so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- Water frequently and if in pots ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.
Tidying your Tulips:
- Once flowering is over, it is important to leave the leaves on your tulips until they have died right down, usually by early summer. This allows the bulb to store food and produce flowers the following year.
- While it is recommended that bulbs are dug up and dried in the summer sun, modern thought is that there is no real benefit from doing this and many gardeners now leave bulbs where they are.
