Aftercare
Remove faded flowers once blooming has finished, but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can replenish their energy for the following spring. Tulip Red Impression performs best in fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from being planted in a sunny position. Lift and store bulbs only if growing conditions are unsuitable for leaving them in the ground.
