Tulip Mix 'Macron' – 12 Flower Bulbs (Bulb Size 11/12)

These 12 flower bulbs of the 'Macron' tulip mix will add 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. They look beautiful 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 in circumference; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.
