Description
The 'Monte Beau' early double tulip is soft and fresh in spring. Its beautiful cup is formed by numerous overlapping petals, showcasing the most charming yellows. Luscious lemon floods the base and central vein, while a fresh buttery tone diffuses onto the fringes to the edges. Occasionally, subtle touches of red also warm the exterior. Bright in borders and containers, it is also stunning in bouquets.
The origin of the tulip dates back to the 11th century. Its provenance goes back much further than the Netherlands, to where it is commonly associated now. It originates from Turkey where it was the object of passionate enthusiasm of the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, it even became their symbol. This territory extended to Central Asia, where it was discovered at the foot of the Himalayas. It was only in the 16th century that it also captivated Augier Ghislain de Busbecq (now called "Bousbecque," a town located 15 km (9.3mi) from our offices as the crow flies), who offered it to the gardens of the city of Vienna. After its arrival in Europe, the tulip turned heads (including that of Louis XIV) and prices soared.
It is still indispensable today and is now available in many shades that enchant borders from spring onwards. Early-flowering varieties, like 'Monte Beau', can bloom as early as March. Its double petals (called "tepals") are abundant and form a beautiful 8 cm (3in) diameter flower. Each flower is carried by a stem that can reach up to 30 cm (12in) high. It thrives in the sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. It is easy to grow and requires little maintenance, just plant it in autumn and admire it for several weeks in spring.
'Monte Beau' will be beautiful alongside Iphions, Muscari, Puschkinias, and Myosotis. It will gently take over from Crocuses and blend with the multiple shades of Daffodils. In containers, you can pair it with Pansies and Violas for a pastel combination. Plant lots and will be able to pick these delightful tulips to brighten up your spring bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant 'Monte Beau' Tulip bulbs in autumn, from September, in flower beds or pots, in ordinary, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly chalky, loose, well-worked and well-draining soil. Never add poorly decomposed manure or compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. Tulips will grow well in moist to dry soil, in a sunny or partly shaded location.
You can plant the bulbs until December at the latest, at a depth of 15 cm (6in) and about 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) apart.
After flowering, their foliage wilts but you must leave it so that the bulb can regenerate. We recommend planting perennial Heucheras, Geraniums, Brunneras, Bleeding Hearts, Euphorbia Cyparissias, at the front of your flower beds, their foliage will enhance the colours of your tulips and elegantly conceal their yellowed leaves.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:

- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
