Tulip 'Sun Frillz' – 20 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

Plant these 20 'Sun Frillz' tulip bulbs between October and December, and you will enjoy 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. Bulb size 11/12 indicates the circumference of the bulbs in centimetres; a larger bulb contains more energy for flowering.
