Tulipa La Delicatesse Tulip Bulbs

La Delicatesse Tulip brings an elegant, painterly look to the spring garden with large double blooms that resemble peonies in both form and fullness.

Held on sturdy upright stems, the impressive 4 inch flowers create a luxurious display from mid to late spring.This distinctive tulip is equally at home in containers, borders, cutting gardens, and mass plantings. The lush double blooms add texture and romance to spring displays and make exceptional cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

It performs well in normal, sandy, or slightly acidic soils and reaches approximately 16 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Plant bulbs about 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart in fall. Allow foliage to mature naturally after flowering to help support future growth. Hardy in Zones 3 through 8, this striking tulip adds exceptional beauty to spring gardens and floral arrangements.
