Greigii tulip mix (Tulipa greigii) – 30 flower bulbs (size 11/12)

Plant these 30 Greigii tulip mix bulbs (Tulipa greigii) from October through December, and enjoy flowers in mixed colours from March through April. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colourful flower. Use them in borders, planters, pots on the patio and as cut flowers in a vase. Bulb size 11/12 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. Also check out our range of potting soil & tools to help you plant your bulbs properly.
