Description
Tulip Quebec is a compact, multi-flowering tulip for those who are looking for early to mid-spring colour in detailed planting areas rather than tall formal bedding schemes. The flower is cup-shaped,with very pale yellow flowers fading to near white, and each petal marked by a crimson red central streak. The broad grey-green leaves are ornamental as well as they are streaked with purple.
Quebec is especially useful where the planting needs more than one point of interest. The flowers provide soft yellow, white and crimson colour, while the mottled foliage gives structure at ground level making it ideal in pots, gravel gardens, rockeries and the front of sunny borders. These tulips are naturally robust and can produce several lightly scented flowers per bulb when planted in free-draining soil in full sun.
Tulip Quebec is best used in civic planters, courtyard displays, public garden edges, estate paths, hotel entrances, raised beds and sheltered mixed bulb plantings. It is a more natural-looking option than tall Darwin Hybrid or Single Late tulips, making it useful for lower, informal schemes where flower detail and foliage pattern are part of the display. It can be combined with crocus, muscari, early narcissus, low alliums and other botanical tulips.
