Tulip ‘Marjolein’ (10 bulbs)

Flowering in mid and late spring, Tulipa ‘Marjolein’ is a bulbous perennial tulip producing individual, large, goblet-shaped flowers with vivid orange petals that look like a flame. These petals may be flushed with a streak of pink on the outside, reaching down towards the stem.

Reaching a height of around 45cm/18″ these bold and eye-catching flowers grow above sword-like grey-green foliage.

They are perfect for use in beds, borders, pots and containers in clumps throughout the autumn. Try planting ‘Marjolein’ with other complementary and vivid spring flowering tulips to create a colourful feature within the garden. They should ideally be planted together, in groups of at least 10-15 for the greatest visual impact. These tulips will also create breathtaking floral bouquets, earning themselves a place in the cut flower garden.

‘Marjolein’ tulips can be grown in a wide range of soils, be it acid, alkaline or neutral, as long as there is good drainage, thriving in a position of full sun. Plant the bulbs approximately 15cm/6″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.
