Tulip Mix 'Darwin Hybrid' – 80 Flower Bulbs (Bulb Size 10/12)

Plant these 80 bulbs of the 'Darwin Hybrid' tulip mix from October through December, and you will enjoy flowers in mixed colours 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, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in the vase. Bulb size 10/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
