The tulip ‘White Emperor’ shows creamy white flowers turning into full white huge blooms. Great for early coloring and mass plantings. Nice fragrance. We only ship TOP Sized 12cm+ tulip bulbs! 30-60cm H x 10-15cm W. Tulips (Tulipa) Situation: A sunny, well drained, moderately fertile position in cool to temperate climates. A partly shaded position in warmer areas. While Tulip bulbs have a self-contained food supply to begin with, they grow best with a little extra fertiliser. You can use fowl manure, cow manure, blood and bone or a balanced commercial fertiliser. Work the fertiliser into the soil about a month before planting. Don’t worry if you miss the window; just add it to the top of the soil after planting.
