The Tulip double early 'Largo' brings brightness to spring beds. Very early, it offers a long flowering period with pretty double bright red flowers carried by sturdy stems. This charming tulip is easy to grow and weather-resistant, making it ideal for beds, borders, pots and containers. It can be combined with other spring-flowering bulbs and seasonal flowers to create charming compositions. Furthermore, its magnificent flowers are also splendid in a bouquet.
The Tulip double early 'Largo' belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, it is classified in the group of double early tulips, whose main characteristic is to flower at the same height, making it a popular category for enthusiasts of manicured beds. Perched on sturdy stems of 30-40 cm (12-16in), just above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the double flowers, 7 to 9 cm (3 to 4in) wide when fully open, unfold into a dense and brightly coloured set of petals. Flowering takes place in April, in the heart of the tulip season. The foliage, composed of beautiful glaucous green lanceolate leaves, yellows and then dries out a few weeks after flowering, while the bulb goes into dormancy.
Double early tulips add an original touch of colour to your beds and bouquets, while being resistant to climate variations. When designing your beds, it is essential to consider the height and flowering period, as these characteristics vary depending on the varieties. Plan for some extra bulbs for cutting, as these tulips make beautiful cut flowers that stay fresh for a long time in a vase. The tulip 'Largo' adapts easily to all styles of gardens. In a contemporary garden, it creates a magnificent contrast with varieties such as the Triomphe 'Fontainebleau' or the double early 'Palmyra'. With its bright red double flowers, it brings charm to a romantic garden, combined with pale pink tulips like the double early 'Melrose' or deep pink like the double early 'Double Price'. In a natural garden, to accompany the 'Largo' tulips, you can combine blue or white flowers such as grape hyacinths, crocuses, hyacinths, forget-me-nots, primroses, and pansies. Yellow bulbous plants like daffodils are also good choices, as well as foliage plants like heucheras.

Botanical data
Plant the 'Largo' tulip bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15 cm (6in), spacing them 10 cm (4in) apart. The planting should be done in ordinary soil, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-drained. Never add undecomposed manure or compost to the planting soil, as it could cause the bulbs to rot. Tulips will grow well in moist to dry soil in summer. Plant them in a sunny or partially shaded location. Once flowering is over, it is preferable to remove the fruits to avoid depleting the plant. Â

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
