Botanical Tulip Tarda

This tulip has multicoloured flowers with pointed petals that open widely towards the end of flowering. The flowers are large in relation to the plant, reaching almost half the height of the stem. It is one of the earliest-flowering tulips and begins blooming in mid-April.

Plant the tulips from mid-September to early October, depending on autumn weather conditions. The ideal soil temperature is 7–10 °C, and the soil should be sufficiently moist.

Planting depth and spacing depend on the size of the bulb. As a general rule, plant tulips at a depth equal to three times the bulb’s height—slightly shallower in heavy soil and deeper in light soil.

Dig up the tulip bulbs annually. Small, healthy bulbs may be lifted every two years. The best time to lift the bulbs is when the lowest leaf has not yet completely dried. The exact time varies between varieties.

These tulips grow up to 15 cm tall and should be planted 12 cm deep. Plant the tulip bulbs 8 cm apart.

Planting position: Spring- and summer-flowering plants grow best in a sunny position.

Soil type: Any well-drained soil is suitable. Humus may be added if necessary.

Care: Water immediately after planting and keep the soil moderately moist during growth. Protect spring-flowering bulbs from severe frost with a layer of peat. Store summer-flowering bulbs at a temperature above 0 °C.

Support: Support tall-growing bulbous plants during growth.
