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

These 96 tulip bulbs from the 'Pastel' mix will add a splash of mixed colour to your garden or 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. They look beautiful in borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulbs have a size of 11/12: the circumference of the bulb in centimetres. The larger the bulb, the more vigorous the bloom.
