Colors are Predictably Unpredictable!
No two flowers are alike with Tulip El Nino. Much like the effects of its namesake, the flowers in shades of orange, golden-yellow, apricot and amber are predictably unpredictable. A mix of sunset colors with striated accents, the flowers get more intense as they mature. Stunning!

Tulip General Information

Single late bloomers are some of the most popular and tallest tulips available. This variety has tall strong stems and well-shaped blooms. Prized as cut flowers, they work very well in borders and beds. Late Tulips finish off the tulip season.

Tulip Plant Care

Plant in well drained soil at least 6" deep and 6" apart. Foliage should not be removed until withered as energy is being stored for the next growing season. Stems can be cut back to maintain appearances if desired. Interested in forcing bulbs? Visit our Useful Links page.
