Margarita

Season Overview

Description

'Margarita' is a double-flowered tulip with a breathtakingly beautiful, densely filled flower head and the nostalgic charm of a rose. It displays a purple hue with a pinkish shimmer that fades gently towards the edges. It grows to a height of about 30–50 cm, blooms from April onwards, and is ideal for beds, containers, or as a fragrant cut flower. This hardy plant prefers sunny to semi-shaded locations and is easy to care for.

Growing tips

- Protection from rodents: Use wire baskets or place the bulbs in planting baskets to protect them from mice or voles. These animals like to nibble on the bulbs. - Remove withered flowers: Cut off the wilted flowers after flowering so that the plant can sprout new flowers. If you want to obtain seeds, leave the flowers on. However, tulips are traditionally not sown, but tulip bulbs are planted. - Replant after a few years: Tulips often flower more vigorously if they are replanted every few years. In flower beds, they can also be alternated with other plants to support soil life and prevent disease.
