Product Information
Superb tulip mix in a rainbow mix of bold, flame-like colours. Equally at home in borders and patio pots.
'Rembrandts' are an old-fashioned style of tulip, which were very much in vogue at the time that the tulip trade was at its height. Each variety in this stunning blend has bold, streaked petals in fantastic bicolours, together offering all the hues of a painter's palette.
Growing to 50cm tall, they bloom througout May, giving stunning displays – and they make lovely cut flowers, too. Plant in groups of 10 or so bulbs in a sunny spot for best performance and maximum visual impact. They combine well with blues and purples, which will highlight their fiery colours.
Easy to grow, the colours are the result of genetic variation and not, as often believed, the result of virus – although this would certainly have been the case in the 17th and 18th centuries, when 'bulb mania' gripped Holland.
Tulips prefer a position where they can be baked in the summer sun to help ripen the bulbs for next season's display.

Care Information
Planting Advice for your Tulip Bulbs
- Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
- Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
- They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they’ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
- Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
- While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.
Aftercare Advice
- Tulips can be planted as late as November, but it’s best to get your bulbs in the ground so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
- Water frequently and if in pots ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.
Tidying your Tulips
- Once flowering is over, it is important to leave the leaves on your tulips until they have died right down, usually by early summer. This allows the bulb to store food and produce flowers the following year.
- While it is recommended that bulbs are dug up and dried in the summer sun, modern thought is that there is no real benefit from doing this and many gardeners now leave bulbs where they are.
