Description

Tulip Double Early Mix is a cheerful blend of early-blooming double tulips in a wide array of rich and pastel colours, from deep raspberry and coral red to soft apricot, lemon cream, and blush pink. Each bloom exhibits a dense, peony-like form with multiple layers of petals, creating a lush floral effect early in the season. Flowering from late March to mid-April and reaching 30 to 35 cm in height, this mix is ideal for professionals looking to introduce early structure and volume to seasonal planting schemes.

These tulips are highly effective in raised borders, formal parterre layouts, compact courtyard gardens, hotel terrace planters, and spring feature beds in public parks and campus settings. They thrive in full sun and require fertile, free-draining soils—particularly important for early-season success. In clay-heavy areas, amend the soil with horticultural sand or grit to prevent rot and ensure strong emergence.

Excellent in hospitality landscapes, window boxes, restaurant entrances, commercial building planters, and civic installations, the Double Early Mix provides colour depth and structural variety when planted en masse or in designed clusters. While double tulips are not a major nectar source, their early visibility contributes to a biodiverse scheme when paired with pollen-rich species such as Crocus tommasinianus, Anemone blanda, or dwarf Narcissus cultivars. Also useful in layered bulb arrangements where timing and form contrast are desired.
