Tulipa crispa 'Vaya con Dios'

The Tulip 'Vaya con Dios' was named after a Belgian band from the 80s inspired by swing music. Truly unique, dynamic, vibrant and radiant, its double and dentate flower, charmingly tousled, blooms in yellow barely touched with pink, sometimes adorned with small green flames on the outside. Over the hours, it blushes with apricot and then with large strokes of pink brushes. By the end of the song, it is almost entirely a tender salmon pink. Combine this variety 'Vaya con Dios' with the tulip 'Angelique', they bloom at the same time, in April-May, and form an exceptional combination in the garden as well as in a vase.

The Double Dentate Tulip 'Vaya con Dios' belongs to the lily family. Of horticultural origin, introduced in 2013 in the Netherlands, it is classified in the 'Crispa' group, whose main characteristic is to have finely dentate petal edges. This tulip will reach a height of 40cm (16in) when in bloom. The flowering takes place in April-May, a little later than other tulips. The flowers are double, in well-opened cups, with a tender yellow almost uniform colour when they bloom. Each one, different, evolves over time, in an apricot colour infused with pink, with the pink hue predominating at maturity. The fringed edges of this magnificent tulip are slightly lighter, white-cream to pale yellow. The flowers last a long time and allow the tulip season to be extended until May.

In the world of flowers, there is truly nothing comparable to dentate tulips to spice up your garden in spring with something unique. Ideal for borders, the Double Tulip 'Vaya con Dios', alone or combined with the varieties 'Angelique', 'Orange Angelique', and 'Apricot Angelique', will also create beautiful spots in perennial beds, along with biennial plants like forget-me-nots or annuals like scented mignonette that will fill the space after flowering. You can choose forget-me-nots or wallflowers for this purpose. By choosing dentate tulips, you will add a unique touch to your bouquets.
