Beautiful colour at ripeness. Slightly less before... Very close to happy generation and allows for prolonging the flowering.

Description

The Late Single Tulip 'Sorbet' produces a very large, fruity and fresh flower like a sorbet, streaked with bright pink and brushed with light blackcurrant brushstrokes. Its tall and sturdy stem withstands bad weather and allows for beautiful bouquets. Stunning when planted en masse, with white, pink and garnet varieties. Flowering in May, at the end of the tulip season.

 

The 'Sorbet' Tulip belongs to the Liliaceae family. Of horticultural origin, introduced in 1959 in the Netherlands, it is currently classified in Division 5 of late single tulips, whose main characteristic is to bloom at the end of the season. It will reach a height of 50 to 55cm (20 to 22in) when in bloom. Perched on stems that withstand bad weather, well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the flowers are large and round, vibrant and healthy, cream-white widely invaded by pink, bright pink and purplish pink, both on the outside and inside of the cup formed by 6 tepals (undifferentiated petals and sepals). Flowering takes place in May, or at the beginning of June depending on the climate, which makes it useful in the garden to accompany the first summer blooms.

 

With a wealth of colours, solid and resistant flowers, suitable for both flower beds and enhancing your bouquets, the fame of late simple tulips is well established. They are already among the most planted varieties. Unmatched for bringing the colours of spring in pots or in 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 beautiful cut flowers that last a long time in a vase. After flowering, the foliage becomes unsightly, so we recommend planting Heucheras, Tiarellas, Brunneras, Bleeding Hearts, Cyparissus Spurge, at the forefront of your flower beds, their foliage will enhance the colours of your tulips and during the season, they will advantageously hide their yellowed leaves.

Planting and care

Plant your tulips as soon as possible in a well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 15cm (6in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs a few cm apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Choose a sunny location for better flowering. After flowering, cut the flower stalks and allow the leaves to completely dry before cutting them.
