Description

Tulipa 'Peach Blossom' is an early double tulip. It is an historic variety, introduced to the horticultural market in 1890. Its success has never waned since then. Its solitary double flower is lightly scented. It opens in a cup shape, in a lovely gradient of deep pink, silvery pink, and white. Standing about 25cm (10in) tall, it is a little gem for a well-kept flower bed. This queen of pink tulips is perfect in pots, at the front of or as a base for a flower bed, intermingled with taller tulips. It is one of the first tulips to bloom, and is a reliable choice! 

 

'Peach Blossom' belongs to the Liliaceae family. This very old horticultural variety is a mutation of the 'Murillo' tulip, obtained in 1860, and the parent of the cultivars 'Garanza' and 'Willem van Oranje' (William of Orange). It is currently classified in the group of 'Early Double Tulips', whose main characteristic is to have large double flowers, resembling those of gardenia, carried by rather short stems. This variety will reach a height of 25cm (10in) when in bloom. The flowers sit perched on sturdy stems, just above the broadly lanceolate leaves. The blooms have a diameter of up to 11cm (4in), and stand out in the garden with their delightful pink shade, nuanced with white, revealing a white throat speckled with yellow stamens. Flowering takes place in March-April, at the beginning of the tulip season.

 

With its modest size and early flowering, 'Peach Blossom' pairs particularly well with small spring bulbs such as muscari, Siberian squills, chionodoxa, and ipheions.

Double tulips boast a wealth of colours. They are sturdy flowers with vibrant shades, perfect in flower beds, rockeries, and bouquets. They are among the most planted varieties. They bring colour and flair to the early season when planted in pots or sunny gardens. Consider the height and flowering period when designing your flower beds, as these parameters vary significantly from one cultivar to another. It is wise to plant a few more bulbs for cutting, as they make beautiful cut flowers that last a long time in a vase.

Planting and care

Place 'Peach Blossom' tulips in a sunny or partially shaded location, sheltered from strong winds. Plant from October to December for spring flowering. Plant the bulbs in light, well-drained soil at a depth of 15cm (6in). Space the bulbs 10cm (4in) apart, without touching each other, to create a mass effect. Cut the flower stems after flowering. Allow the leaves to dry completely before cutting them. Tulips do not like stagnant moisture.
