Propagation

Propagate by division, separating offsets in summer when bulbs are lifted. Replant the largest bulbs in autumn, and grow on smaller ones in a nursery bed for a year. See bulb propagation for more details

Growing

This is 'broken' tulip variety, where the colour patterns are caused by the presence of a virus in the bulb which does not affect this cultivar, but may be transmitted to others if planted nearby. Plant bulbs in late autumn, in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position. See tulip cultivation for more details
