I usually order tulips from you. They are always beautiful, but this time, it's a miss! Only two out of five came out, and they were degenerated! Is the genetics of these flowers fragile or unstable?

Description
These Murillo Early Double Tulips in a mixture will charm with their double and spectacular flowers in various colours and their early flowering. Planted en masse, the different varieties that make up this mixture create a lush and variegated effect that is hard to ignore. Low and stocky, they are generally used at the forefront of a bed, along a path, or even in a balcony planter. They bloom in March-April, at the beginning of the tulip season.
The Murillo Early Double Tulip belongs to the Liliaceae family. It is officially classified in Division 2, whose main characteristic is to have large double flowers, resembling those of peonies, carried by rather short stems. The Murillo tulips come in a range of colours resulting from simple mutations. Depending on the variety, the plant will reach between 20 and 25 cm (8 and 10in) in height when flowering. Perched on stocky stems, just above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the flowers have a diameter of up to 11 cm (4in) and stand out in the garden with their shape and colour. Each variety has its own personality. The glaucous green foliage turns yellow and then dries out a few weeks after flowering, as the bulb enters a resting phase.
These tulips are worthy of being featured in the most beautiful canvases of Flemish masters. Romantic to the core, Murillo tulips particularly complement small white spring-flowering bulbs such as certain botanical narcissi or blue muscari, Siberian squills, and chionodoxa, as well as ipheions. With their rich colours, sturdy and often fragrant flowers, they can be used in beds, rockeries, and to enhance your bouquets. The reputation of early double tulips speaks for itself.
Unmatched for bringing early season fancy to pots or sunny gardens, don't forget to consider the height and flowering period of your tulips when designing your beds, as these parameters can vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is wise to plant a few more bulbs for cutting, as they make stunning cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.
Note: each batch is unique and the proportion of colours may vary significantly from one batch to another.

Planting and care
Place the Murillo tulips in a sunny or partially shaded location, sheltered from strong winds, from October to December for spring flowering. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 15 cm (6in), in a light and well-drained soil that has been deeply loosened. Space the bulbs 10 cm (4in) apart without letting them touch to create a mass effect; cut the flower stalks after flowering. Allow the leaves to completely dry before cutting them. Tulips do not like stagnant humidity, especially during their summer dormant period.

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 Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- 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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
