Description

Darwin Hybrid Tulip van Eijk is a proven choice for Irish trade customers who need a strong pink tulip with good scale, reliable form and broad planting use. It is supplied for landscapers, councils, parks departments, contractors, estate gardeners, hotels and professional horticultural customers planting in autumn for spring display.

The flowers are large, cup-shaped and carried on sturdy stems, with colour ranging from deep pink to rose-pink and sometimes softening as the blooms mature. This gives van Eijk a clear spring presence without the harder effect of bright red or orange tulips. It works particularly well in repeated groups, where the pink tones create a strong but refined display across formal beds, park borders, civic planting and estate schemes. Supplier descriptions list van Eijk as a Darwin Hybrid tulip with pink to deep pink flowers, strong stems and April to May flowering.

For Irish planting schemes, van Eijk is useful where a softer colour is required but the display still needs to be visible from a distance. It is a practical option for hotel gardens, public park entrances, estate lawns, courtyard planters, business frontages, Tidy Towns displays, school grounds and local authority beds. The pink colour combines well with white narcissus, pale yellow narcissus, purple tulips, blue muscari and cream tulips.

As a Darwin Hybrid, van Eijk offers the large flower size and upright habit associated with this group. Darwin Hybrid tulips are generally described as having large cup-shaped flowers on tall, sturdy stems, flowering in late April to May, with multiannual flowering possible where conditions are suitable
