Tulip ‘Johann Strauss’ (10 bulbs)

Tulip ‘Johann Strauss’ is a white dwarf Kaufmanniana tulip variety producing pointed white petals with a lemon yellow base and distinct red streaks on the outside.

‘Johann Strauss’ will produce early flowers from March into April, growing to a height of approximately 20cm/8″, with blue-green leaves that are attractively mottled with deep burgundy-purple.

These fully hardy spring flowering bulbs will continue to flower for many years, best planted in small groups in borders or containers, providing a rare source of striking and distinct early spring colour. They are also excellent as cut flowers, earning a position in the cut flower garden.

‘Johann Strauss’ tulip bulbs can be grown in a wide array of soil conditions, be it acidic, alkaline or neutral, so long as there is sufficient drainage. They will prefer a position of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years, preferably protected from strong winds. Look to plant the bulbs around 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.

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