A classically-shaped show-stopper, Tulipa ‘Strong Gold’ produces cheerful, buttery yellow blooms atop sturdy stems that will withstand wind and rain.
This variety is also exceptionally reliable and consistent with a proven track record for UK growth and excellent disease and pest resistance, as recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society with its coveted Award of Garden Merit.
These ‘Strong Gold’ bulbs will flower in April, at a height of approximately 45cm/18″ and are perfectly suited for beds and borders, in combination with flowering shrubs and conifers. Alternatively, use them in pots, containers or as cut flowers. For the greatest visual impact, plant in groups of at least 10-15, amongst other complementary shades such as dark purple or white in order to create contrast and highlight their vibrant beauty.
‘Strong Gold’ tulip bulbs should be planted 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart, in almost any soil, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, so long as there is sufficient drainage. Plant in a position of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years, preferably protected from strong winds.
Remove flowers when they begin to fade and support them after planting with a top dressing of slow acting fertiliser, such as bone-meal, to assist the flowering.
