Tulip ‘Quebec’ (10 bulbs)

Tulipa ‘Quebec’ is a multi-flowering tulip producing up to 5 blooms per stem. These flowers consist of pale buttercup-yellow petals with a streak of crimson running up the middle from the base to the pointed tip of each petal. These distinctive cup-shaped flowers sit above broadly lance-shaped grey-green leaves with speckled splashes of purple.

Flowering through April and May, these bulbs will grow to a height of around 25cm/10″, opening up in the sunshine.

These naturalising spring bulbs will flower, year upon year, in borders, around shrubs and conifers and in containers on terraces and balconies. They can also be spread through grass in order to gradually naturalise over time producing swathes of early season colour. Regardless of location, they should ideally be planted together in groups for the greatest visual impact.

‘Quebec’ tulip bulbs are able to 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.
