I would have liked them to be even more yellow. But they're pretty and last a long time.

Description
The Viridiflora 'Green Mile' Tulip is an unusual variety that will delight gardeners who appreciate flowers with exotic charm. Its stylised lily flower, with lemon yellow, is streaked with green and discreetly fringed along the edges. It combines the characteristics of Viridiflora tuips, lilies, and fringed flowers, making it ideal for enhancing blue and purple tones in the garden. Planted in large numbers or in big bouquets, this tulip creates a superb mass effect towards the end of the tulip season. It tends to perennialise well in the garden.
The Viridiflora 'Green Mile' Tulip belongs to the Lily family. Originally horticultural and introduced in 2014, it is currently classified in Division 8, which is currently the least significant group closely related to late single tulips. The main characteristics of Viridiflora tulips are late flowering of blooms striped or streaked with green. The 'Green Mile' variety will reach approximately 40 cm (16in) in height when in bloom. Perched on sturdy stems, well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the narrow cup-shaped flowers, 6 cm (2in) wide, somewhat resemble those of Lily-flowered Tulips in shape. But their six "petals" (more precisely tepals) are more irregular and distinctly marked with green in the centre. The petal edges, yellow in colour, have some very fine fringes. At maturity, the flower opens into a star, revealing a yellow and green throat. Flowering takes place in late May or June, depending on the climate. Another advantage of the Viridiflora Tulip is that its flowers remain beautiful for at least three weeks. It is an excellent cut flower.
The Viridiflora 'Green Mile' Tulip enhances all neighboring plants, especially those with blue, purple, orange, and pink tones. It can be associated with both biennials and perennials or planted in small groups in rock gardens. You can plant daisies, chamomiles, forget-me-nots, lady's mantles, catmints, and other plants alongside it. It is a charming addition to your flower beds.

Planting and care
Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 15 cm (6in), spacing them 10 cm (4in) apart. The planting should be done in ordinary soil, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, loose, well-worked, and well-drained. Never add undecomposed manure or compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. The 'Green Mile' tulip will thrive in moist to dry soil in summer. Plant it in a sunny or partially shaded location. After flowering, it is best 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.
