Tulip 'Peaches & Kisses' – 12 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

Plant these 12 'Peaches & Kisses' tulip bulbs between October and December, and you will enjoy flowers in mixed colours from April to May. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. Suitable for borders, window boxes, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. Bulb size 11/12 indicates the circumference of the bulbs in centimetres; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.

Planting and care

Plant the bulbs 10–15 cm deep with the tip facing upwards, in well-drained soil. Only plant tulips once the soil has cooled, usually from mid-October onwards. This reduces the risk of tulip fire, a fungus that thrives in warm soil. Read more about the right location in our guide to locations.
