Tulipa Monte Orange- Double Early Tulip

The Early Double Tulip 'Monte Orange' stands out for the intensity of its early flowering, starting in the early days of spring. The flowers, with their orange tones and delicate fragrance, bring charm and appeal to the garden. Thanks to its long and sturdy stems, it can withstand inclement weather without difficulty. This tulip is perfect for enhancing flower beds, borders, pots, and containers, not to mention its long-lasting qualities in bouquets. Its flowering follows that of early single tulips.

The Early Double Tulip 'Monte Orange' belongs to the Lily family. Of horticultural origin, it is classified in the group of early double tulips, whose main characteristic is that they all flower at the same height, making them a preferred category among enthusiasts of well-arranged flower beds. Perched on sturdy stems measuring 30-40 cm (12-16in), just above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the double flowers, 9 to 11 cm (4in) wide when fully open, unfold in a dense and colourful array of petals. The beautiful flowers, composed of numerous orange petals, have a superb colour. The flowering takes place in April, at the heart of the tulip season. The foliage, consisting of beautiful glaucous lanceolate leaves, turns yellow and then dries up a few weeks after flowering, while the bulb goes into dormancy.

Early double tulips add an original touch of colour to your flower beds and bouquets, while being resistant and capable of withstanding various weather conditions. When designing your flower beds, it is important to consider the height and flowering period, as these may vary from one cultivar to another. It is recommended to plant some extra bulbs specifically for picking, as these tulips are perfect for floral arrangements that remain fresh for a long time in a vase. The 'Monte Orange' tulip adapts easily to all styles of gardens. In a contemporary garden, it creates a wonderful contrast with varieties such as the Triomphe 'Fontainebleau' or the Early Double Tulip 'Palmyra'. With its double orange flowers, it adds charm to a romantically inspired garden alongside yellow tulips like the Early Double Tulip 'Orca' or red tulips like the Early Double Tulip 'Eternal Flame'. In a natural garden, Forget-me-nots, Wood Hyacinths, or Grape Hyacinths will enhance its warm hues. Yellow bulbous plants like daffodils are also an excellent choice, as are foliage plants such as heucheras.
