Tulip Mix 'Sweet Desire' – 48 Flower Bulbs (Bulb Size 11/12)

Plant these 48 bulbs of Tulip Mix 'Sweet Desire' from October to December, and enjoy flowers in mixed colours 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 reserves for flowering.
