Tulip 'Jan Seignette' – 20 flower bulbs (bulb size 11/12)

Plant these 20 'Jan Seignette' tulip bulbs (red-and-yellow striped tulip) between October and December, and 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. Suitable for 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 reserves for flowering.
