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

Plant these 15 'Dutch Design' tulip bulbs between October and December, and enjoy pink and white flowers from April to 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 the circumference of the bulbs in centimetres; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
