The Big Brother is a single late tulip. Its slender, slightly conical flower cups present beautiful, warm colours. They sit on erect, tubular stems and look amazing on flower beds and borders. Raspberry pink petals with a lush orange edge wonderfully contrast with the background of subtly waved, blue-green leaves. The perfect set of colours and a sophisticated shape of Big Brother tulip's calyx are a great companion for small-flowered lower perennials and ornamental grasses. Brightly coloured flowers of the presented variety are perfect cut flowers. Freshly picked Big Brother tulips will delight our eyes for a long time, cheering up the surroundings with their radiant glow.

Start tulip cultivation in autumn, ideally between mid-September and mid-October. Fertile, light, and well-drained soil suits tulips best. The soil should be deeply cultivated, enriched with organic fertilizer, free of weeds and stones. You can feed tulips with a dose of complex fertilizer in spring, as well as water them during extended drought periods. Tulips can stay on one site for three to four years. After this period, it is necessary to dig out the bulbs in summer, separate the adventitious bulbs, then dry and store them until autumn. Plant them at the usual time, but at a new position.
