Aftercare
Remove faded flowers after blooming but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following spring. Plant in fertile, free-draining soil and avoid waterlogged conditions during dormancy. Tulip Crème Upstar performs best in a sunny position and can be lifted and stored once the foliage has completely died back if required.
