Queensland

Season Overview

Description

The Queensland tulip has a stunning bloom. It is a delicate, frothy work of art made up of pinkish-red, ruffled petals with delicate pink accents, which has not yet received the appreciation it deserves. The tulip grows to a height of 40–45 cm.

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.
