Tulip Mix 'Macron' – 96 Flower Bulbs (Bulb Size 11/12)

Tulip mix 'Macron' blooms in mixed colours from April through May. With 96 bulbs in this pack, you will cover approximately 1 m². Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. Use them in borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. Bulb size 11/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.
