Tulipa ‘Suncatcher’ is a bright and showy Triumph tulip that produces golden yellow blooms with intense fiery red edges.
Flowering in April, these bulbs will reach a height of approximately 50cm/20″ to create a wonderful and impactful display. They are excellent at attracting bees and other large pollinators into the garden which has been recognised by their inclusion in the RHS Plants for Pollinators collection.
These bulbs will work brilliantly in beds and borders, or around shrubs and conifers, flowering for several years. Their relatively short sturdy stems also makes them suitable for pots, containers and as cut flowers to enjoy around the home. Regardless of their application, we recommend planting amongst other darker shades such as purple or red in order to create contrast and showcase their lighter beauty.
‘Suncatcher’ tulip bulbs should be planted 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart, growing in almost any soil, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, as 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.
