Tulipa simple flowers Mix

The Early Single Mixed Tulips offer single flowers in a beautiful range of bright or pastel colours, depending on the varieties. They bloom at the beginning of the tulip season, on rather short stems that withstand wind and bad weather well. Perfect for bordering flower beds and garden beds, they also bring spring into the house in floral arrangements.

The Early Single Tulip belongs to the Lily family. Of horticultural origin, it encompasses a group of hybrids that are currently classified in Division 1 of tulips, whose main characteristic is early flowering in the season, on rather short stems. Of modest size, it will reach between 35 and 40 cm (14 and 16in) in height when in bloom depending on the varieties. Perched on sturdy stems well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the elegant cup-shaped flowers, 6 to 8 cm (2 to 3in) wide, display very fresh colours that shine in the garden as well as in a vase. Flowering takes place in April, at the beginning of the tulip season.

With their wide range of colours, solid and resistant flowers, suitable for both flower beds and bouquets, the reputation of Early Single Tulips is well established and they are among the most planted varieties. Unmatched for bringing the colour of spring to pots or sunny gardens, don't forget to 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 superb 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.

About botanical species: Tulip species are found  from Western Europe to China and Japan, through Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and Central Asia. Their distribution area also includes North Africa and India. The centre of diversity of the genus Tulipa is located in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan.

There are a few wild species in Europe, many of which are endangered. These are either large adventive tulips from cultivated fields, the most famous being the Agen Tulip (Tulipa agenensis), or small tulips found in wooded areas or among rocks in the mountains. In cultivation, they are called "botanical tulips". One of the most common is the wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which used to often grow sheltered by vines and whose subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.
