Description
Greigii Tulip Cape Cod is a compact early tulip for planting when strong colour is needed close to the front of a scheme. It belongs to the Greigii group, which is valued for short sturdy growth, decorative foliage and large flowers that open well in spring sunshine. The flowers carry a warm blend of orange, yellow and red, giving a bright tropical effect at a lower height than most standard landscape tulips. R
Cape Cod is best used where the plant can be seen close up rather than lost behind taller tulips. It suits courtyard containers, raised planters, estate path edges, public garden fronts, civic beds, hotel entrance displays, school grounds and compact commercial landscapes. The patterned foliage gives value before and during flowering, while the orange-yellow flowers provide a clear early-season colour signal.
Cape Cod has good practical value for managed Irish planting because they are not tall, can cope well with different weather conditions.
Use Cape Cod with blue muscari, early crocus, low narcissus, compact white tulips, yellow Kaufmanniana tulips and simple spring bedding. It can be planted in repeated groups for a bold front-of-border effect or used in containers where the flower colour and foliage markings can be appreciated from close range.
