Tulip ‘Greenland’ (10 bulbs)

Known also as Tulip ‘Greenland’, Tulipa ‘Groenland’ is a beautiful and subtle member of the Viridiflora Tulips group that will produce dusky rose pink petals with soft green blended flames.

‘Groenland’ bulbs will grow to a height of around 40cm/16″ and tend to flower for up to three weeks during April and May.

These unusual spring flowering bulbs will look excellent in pots or containers and will make for a welcome addition to most borders. They should ideally be planted in groups of at least 10-15 for the greatest visual impact and are also exceptional as cut flowers.

‘Groenland’ tulip bulbs will grow in almost any soil, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, provided there is effective drainage. Try to plant in a position of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years, preferably protected from strong winds. Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.

Remove flowers as they fade and support after planting with a top dressing of slow acting fertiliser, such as bone-meal, to assist the flowering.
