I cant grow tulips. They die. When I show up they mysteriously suffer from drop dead syndrome. This photo is a bit old, as it was take when they first started opening and now they have almost finished. I believe these tulips did so well because I didnt plant them, I was off crook that week and missed out on the fun that is planting 150 tulip bulbs. I did have a hand in watering and fertilizing them and if you dont mind my saying, they look pretty magnificent! So the score so far is Me:1, Drop Dead Syndrome:0. Tulips, it turns out, are heavy feeders. So we've been throwing seasol/vita plant on them every time we foliar feed the annuals and we hit them with macrocote fairly early. The only drawback with them is we planted them in front of the everlastings, so their lifespan seems rather short in comparison. Shine bright and shine beautiful I say!
