Tulip Mix 'Darwin Hybrid' – 160 Flower Bulbs (Size 10/12)

These 160 flower bulbs of the 'Darwin Hybrid' mixed tulip variety will add a splash of mixed colours to your garden or patio from April through 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, patio pots and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulb size 10/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; 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. You can read more about the right location in our guide on locations.
