Where It Grows in Australia

Tulips perform best in cool to temperate regions of Australia where they receive a cold winter period. They are well suited to areas such as Tasmania, Victoria, the ACT, cooler parts of New South Wales, and other cool-climate gardens.

In warmer areas, tulips are best treated as a seasonal display and may benefit from chilling before planting. For the strongest results, plant into a sunny or lightly shaded position with free-draining soil.

How to Plant Premium Mixed Double Tulips

Plant tulip bulbs in autumn to early winter, once the weather has cooled. Place bulbs with the pointed end facing up, around 10–15 cm deep and 10 cm apart.

For the best display, plant in groups rather than single bulbs. Double tulips look especially impressive in pots, large containers, and massed garden plantings where their full blooms can be enjoyed up close.

After Flowering

Once flowering has finished, remove spent blooms but allow the foliage to die back naturally. This helps the bulb return energy for the following season.

In many parts of Australia, tulips are best grown as a seasonal feature, with fresh bulbs planted each year for the most reliable spring display.
