Up-cycle a container you already own — but go a decent depth for tulips (at least 25cm\/10in, and just as wide) so the roots have room. Grab a bag of peat-free compost and a bag of grit locally. It keeps the kit lighter, cheaper and kinder to the planet. Whatever container you use, make sure it’s got drainage holes in the bottom — bulbs sitting in cold, wet compost over winter is the one thing that’ll finish them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose this grow kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGiant rose-pink blooms\u003c\/strong\u003e — some of the biggest, boldest tulips you can grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWind-proof stems\u003c\/strong\u003e — stands up where lesser tulips flop, and a superb cut flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore than a bag of bulbs\u003c\/strong\u003e — every kit includes comfrey pellets and seaweed meal, a gentle, potassium-rich feed to help your bulbs build strength for the year ahead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA plain-English grow guide\u003c\/strong\u003e in every kit — no jargon, no gatekeeping, everything a first-timer needs to get it right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuinely plastic-free\u003c\/strong\u003e — the bulbs, the feed and every scrap of packaging, posted plastic-free too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery kit \u003cstrong\u003efunds living wage jobs and horticultural training\u003c\/strong\u003e in Ayrshire, for people overcoming homelessness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe bit that matters most\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Grow Box funds living wage jobs and horticultural training right here in Ayrshire, \u003cstrong\u003efor people overcoming homelessness\u003c\/strong\u003e.

As a Triumph tulip, ‘Jumbo Pink’ is less dependable at returning than Darwin hybrids — some come back, some fade.
