Peony-Style Double Tulips for Spring Displays
Tulip ‘Sunset Tropical’ is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for something different from the traditional single tulip. Its layers of petals create substantial blooms that provide a striking focal point in spring planting schemes.
Plant several bulbs together through borders for maximum impact, or create an impressive seasonal container for a patio or entrance. As a Double Late tulip, Sunset Tropical is also useful for extending your tulip display into the latter part of the spring season.
For a coordinated bulb display, combine these double tulips with earlier-flowering tulips, narcissi, muscari and ornamental alliums.
How to Plant Tulip Sunset Tropical Bulbs
Plant your tulip bulbs in autumn in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.
Plant bulbs approximately 10–15cm deep, positioning them with the pointed end facing upwards. When growing tulips in pots, always use a container with adequate drainage and avoid allowing the compost to become waterlogged.
After flowering, faded blooms can be removed, but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can continue storing energy.
