The Darwin Hybrid Tulip 'Marit' is a variety with soft pastel colours. It offers large, thick flowers in a variable mix of peach-pink to raspberry-pink and primrose-yellow. Belonging to the line of remarkable Darwin hybrids, this vigorous tulip produces large flowers with strong, weather-resistant stems. It blooms in the heart of spring. This variety has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
The Darwin Hybrid Tulip 'Marit' belongs to the Lily family. Of horticultural origin, it is currently classified in Division 4, which is characterised by large, single, oval flowers that appear in the middle of the season, carried by long, weather-resistant stems. Tulips in this group are the most cultivated for the cut flower trade. Originally derived from cross-breeding with botanical species such as T. fosteriana, they show no signs of their wild ancestry. 'Marit' reaches a height of 70 cm when in bloom. Perched on strong stems, well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the large flowers are elongated, elegant, with a delightful hue, made of a subtle blend of delicious pink and tender yellow. The colour is enhanced by the slightly waxy and translucent texture of the petals. The flowering takes place in April-May, with each flower lasting several days before fading.
The 'Marit' tulip stands out in large flowerbeds and bouquets. Its delicacy harmonises with tulips in bolder colours to create a striking contrast and a dynamic ensemble. It accompanies the flowering of spring bulbs such as daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths, or pairs well with lady's mantle, Corsican hellebores, and spurges with their tangy shades, creating a joyful and delightful mix with the pastel tulip. In borders, rockeries, and flower beds, or in pots and containers, its tall stature and delicate colour add a touch of elegance and refinement to compositions. To prolong its vase life, use a small amount of water, just enough to cover the bottom, and if the tulips open too quickly, add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day.

Botanical data
Plant Darwin Marit bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15 cm, spacing them 10 cm apart in ordinary, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly chalky, loose, well-worked, and well-draining soil. Never add uncomposted manure or compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. The tulip will thrive in moist to dry soil in summer. Place it in a good, sunny or semi-shaded position. Once flowering is finished, it is a good idea to remove the seed heads to avoid exhausting the plant.

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).
