Plant Tulipa ‘Orange Toronto’ from September until December for multi-headed delightfully colourful flowers with large orange petals. These make wonderful cut flowers to help brighten the house.
Flowering throughout April and May, these plants will grow to a height of around 25cm/10″ with wavy, wide green leaves.
These spring bulbs will flower for several years in borders, around shrubs and conifers and in containers on terraces and balconies. Alternatively, they can be dispersed together in grass in order to gradually naturalise over time creating swathes of early season colour. Regardless of location, they should ideally be planted together in groups for the greatest visual impact.
‘Orange Toronto’ tulip bulbs can be grown in almost any soil, be it acid, alkaline or neutral, provided there is good drainage. Look for an area of full sun, preferably in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years. Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.
