Tulips are beautiful and unpretentious garden plants, but this information does not change the fact that when growing these flowers, gardeners often make the same mistakes.

The most common incorrect actions were listed by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Insufficient or too deep immersion of bulbs

The result of such actions on the part of the gardener in most cases is that the bulbs freeze during winter.

Late planting of bulbs

If you plant the planting material too late, the tulip bulbs may not have time to take root before the frost sets in.

Use of poor quality planting material

Before you start planting tulips in your garden, make sure that you have healthy bulbs that are free of defects. High-quality bulbs should not have dark spots or cracks.
