Description
The Viridiflora Tulip 'Orange Marmalade' is a recent variety with a unique colour, producing very large papaya orange flowers streaked with green, highlighted with a touch of lemon yellow. These flowers are sublime in a vase, almost unreal. They retain their brightness for up to three weeks and create a superb mass effect. This late variety can rebloom for several years in the garden. Stunning with burgundy, orange, pink, and violet flowers.
The Viridiflora Tulip 'Orange Marmalade' belongs to the lily family. Of horticultural origin, it is classified in Division 8, which is currently the least significant group, closely related to that of late single tulips. Their main characteristics are late flowering and flowers streaked with green. The 'Orange Marmalade' variety will reach a height of 40 to 45 cm when in bloom. Perched on sturdy stems, well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the large flowers are very large, 12 to 15 cm wide cups. They are composed of six petals in shades of bright orange, apricot, pink and yellow around a distinctly green central zone. Flowering takes place at the end of May or in June, at the end of the tulip season.
The Viridiflora Tulip 'Orange Marmalade' can be accompanied by both biennial and perennial plants, in a flower bed or border. You can associate it with common lady's mantle, euphorbiaamygdaloides var. robbiae and dark late tulips such as 'Black Parrot'. Planted en masse in the garden or used to make a large bouquet, it will be the centre of attention!

Planting and care
Plant the 'Orange Marmalade' Viriflora tulip bulbs in the autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15 cm, spacing them 10 cm apart 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 tulip will thrive in moist to dry soil in the summer. Place it in a good, sunny or semi-shaded position. Once flowering is complete, remove the seed heads to avoid exhausting the bulb.

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).
