Description
Tulipa 'Marietta' is a lily-flowered tulip bearing a silky corolla with a stylised shape that enhances its vibrant carmine pink colour, making it easy to combine in spring flower beds. For a late tulip, it persists well in the garden and faithfully blooms every spring. Supported by a long, sturdy stem, this old variety is also an excellent cut flower for charming bouquets. A reliable choice!
Tulipa 'Marietta' was registered in the Netherlands in 1942. It belongs to the Liliaceae family. It is classified in division 6 of horticultural tulips, lily-flowered tulips. Tulips in this category were created in the early 20th century. They have the following main characteristics: they bear single flowers, they bloom in the second half of spring, the cups are narrow, and the pointed petals are recurved at opening and open into a star shape to reveal a small white throat occupied by yellow stamens. During the day, these flowers become spider-like and fully open. This variety will reach a height of 50 to 55cm (20 to 22in) when in bloom. Flowering takes place around mid-May, emerging from foliage that is thinner than that of other tulips. Each solitary flower is supported by a seemingly delicate stem, but it is resistant to bad weather. The foliage naturally yellows and dries a few weeks after flowering, while the bulb enters summer dormancy.
Tulipa 'Marietta' looks wonderful in organised large flower beds, as well as in contemporary or romantic settings, depending on the desires of each gardener. Since its blooming is late, it lengthens the flowering period. Combine it with white, black, or pink varieties of tulips, and/or with other spring bulbs. It can be planted in borders, rockeries, flower beds, pots, and containers. This tulip beautifully enhances balconies and patios. It pairs perfectly with tall perennials. Its flowers are ideal for creating elegant bouquets. Only use a little water in a vase. If your tulips open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day. Many varieties of lily-flowered tulips are grown for forcing and produce cut flowers for a large part of the year.

Planting and care
Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15cm (6in), spacing them 10cm (4in) apart. Plant in ordinary, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-draining soil. Never add poorly decomposed manure or compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. The bulbs will grow well in moist to dry soil in summer. Plant in a sunny or partially shaded location. Once flowering is finished, it is wise to remove the fruits 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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
