Tulip 'Klein Schoonheid' – 50 flower bulbs (bulb size 6/+)

The 'Klein Schoonheid' tulip blooms in pink from April through May. With 50 bulbs in this package, you can fill a group of approximately 70 × 70 cm. Tulips are the quintessential spring flowers of the Netherlands: one bulb produces one sturdy stem with a large, colorful flower. They look beautiful in borders, flower boxes, pots on the patio, and as cut flowers in a vase. The bulb size 6/+ indicates how many centimeters the circumference of the bulbs measures; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.

Planting and care
