Planting Time

Bendigo tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn, ideally from September to October. Early planting allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before winter, supporting robust growth and flowering in spring.

Planting Depth

Position each bulb at a depth of 10-12 cm in well-prepared soil. This depth helps protect the bulbs from frost and supports healthy development.

Spacing

Allow 12-15 cm between bulbs. Adequate spacing encourages dense, attractive displays and makes maintenance straightforward throughout the season.

Height

Bendigo tulips reach a mature height of 40-45 cm. Their stature means they integrate well with both lower perennials and taller spring garden bulbs.

Flowering Time

This variety blooms from April to May, providing a vivid splash of red at the start of the flowering season. The unique, fringed petals create a focal point in any planting scheme.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Bendigo tulip bulbs are fully hardy and suitable for overwintering in the ground. Applying a layer of mulch is recommended to offer extra protection from severe cold, helping to ensure healthy emergence in spring.

Uses

Bendigo is ideal for vibrant displays in beds, borders, and along paths, as well as in pots for patios and balconies. The intense red flowers contrast beautifully with lawns and garden structures, and their long-lasting freshness makes them a popular choice for cut flower arrangements. These bulbs for gardens combine strong ornamental value with practical versatility.
