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

Plant these 12 'Double Sensation' tulip bulbs between October and December, and enjoy mixed-colour 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. Suitable for borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in the vase. Bulb size 11/12 indicates the circumference of the bulbs in centimetres; a larger bulb contains more energy reserves for flowering.
