Tulip ‘Orca’ (8 bulbs)

Tulip ‘Orca’ is a double early tulip that produces large, cup-shaped flowers with a distinctive orange and yellow colouring. The flowers start out a pale honey colour, but they mature to a deeper orange with yellow highlights. The petals are heavily ruffled, giving the flower a peony-like appearance.

The stems of Tulip ‘Orca’ are relatively short, reaching only about 30 centimeters in height. This makes them well-suited for planting in containers or in the front of a border. The flowers are also relatively hardy, and they can withstand light frosts.

Tulip ‘Orca’ blooms in early spring, from April to May. It is a popular choice for cut flowers, and it can also be used in floral arrangements.
