Tulip Quebec

Tulip Quebec

Tulip Quebec is a low-growing tulip producing several flowers per bulb, with pale yellow to near-white petals marked by crimson streaks and decorative purple-mottled foliage. Suitable for professional schemes where compact height, multiple flowers per bulb, patterned foliage and reliable close-view spring colour are required by landscapers, estate gardeners, councils, parks teams, garden designers, hotels and professional horticultural customers planting in autumn for spring display.

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.
