Tulip Mix 'Triumph' – 70 Flower Bulbs (Bulb Size 11/17)

These 70 flower bulbs of the 'Triumph' mixed tulips provide colour in mixed colours in your garden or on your patio from March through April. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. Suitable for borders, flower boxes, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in the vase. Bulb size 11/17 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure in circumference; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.
