Tulip 'Sunbath' – 15 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

These 15 'Sunbath' tulip bulbs will add yellow and white colour to your garden or patio from April through May. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. They look beautiful in borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulb size 11/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
