Tulip 'Double Pink' – 12 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

The 'Double Pink' tulip blooms in pink from April through May. With 12 bulbs in this package, you can fill a group of approximately 30 × 30 cm. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colorful flower. Suitable for borders, flower boxes, pots on the patio, and as cut flowers in a vase. Bulb size 11/12 indicates how many centimeters the circumference of the bulbs measures; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.
