Tulip 'Orca' (5 bulbs)

Tulip 'Orca' is a double early tulip that produces large, cup-shaped flowers with a distinctive orange and yellow colouring. Available as a pack of 5 bulbs, the flowers start out a pale honey colour, but mature to a deeper orange with yellow highlights. The petals are heavily ruffled, giving the flower a peony-like appearance.

The stems of Tulip 'Orca' are relatively short, reaching only about 30 centimeters in height. This makes them well-suited to planting in containers or in the front of a border. They also make an excellent addition to the cut flower garden to enjoy in floral displays around the home.

To get the best floral display from your Tulip ‘Orca’ bulbs, plant them in any moist but free draining soil, in a position of full sun. You will then enjoy many years of effortless floral displays.
