Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Product Specifications
How To Grow	In most climates, Tulips benefit from being chilled in a paper bag in the crisper section of the fridge for 4-6 weeks before planting. Ensure soil temperatures have cooled to around 20°C prior to planting. Prepare soil to be weed-free, well-draining and rich in organic matter. Plant 10-15cm deep 10cm apart full sun or part shade with the pointy end of the bulb facing up. Water soil well at time of planting and mulch after shoots appear to protect from warm weather. Water regularly and deeply. Feed when buds start to appear for the best floral display. An additional application of fertiliser once the flowers are finished will improve the next years’ display. At the end of the season, remove spent flowers and allow foliage to yellow so that energy is re-absorbed into the bulb. In very cool climates with dry mild Summers, bulbs can be left in the ground to rebloom next Spring. In most climates, bulbs are best lifted when dormant and stored in a cool dry place. Don’t forget to place bulbs in the fridge 4-6 weeks before planting the next season.
