Wild-Tulpe 'Little Beauty'

Season Overview

Description

The 'Little Beauty' tulip is a red wild tulip with a white-blue center and long, slender foliage. This enchanting little tulip, only 10-20 cm tall, packs a punch with its bright magenta-red elongated flowers, which are delicately green on the outside! When it opens like a star in full sun from April to May, you can admire its blue-white center. It is ideal for naturalizing in front of trees and bushes, in rock gardens and open spaces such as flower beds or along paths. But it also thrives in pots, and bees and bumblebees love it!

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 not traditionally 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.
