The Gerbrand Kieft tulip is a variety producing white and red, double flowers. This unusual plant can become a phenomenal component of a home garden, or a decoration made of cut flowers. A beautiful peony tulip whose flowers take on contrasting yet smoothly melding colours is undemanding and incredibly productive. It looks great on mixed beds accompanied by perennials and other bulbous flowers. It brings colour to rock gardens and pots on a balcony. These low-growing, only twenty-five to thirty-five centimetres tall tulips bloom in early May. A bouquet of Gerbrand Kieft tulips allows you to quickly and lavishly decorate of the interior of your home.

Plant tulips in mid-autumn, when the soil and air temperature have already dropped significantly. Bury bulbs in a permeable, nutrient-rich soil. Prepare the soil carefully if you wish to grow lush, large flowers in saturated colour. Loosen and fertilize the soil before planting. Optimal growing conditions allow tulips to bloom profusely and for a long time, displaying a worthy show of natural beauty. Choose a warm, sheltered, and sunny site for tulip cultivation. Water tulips right after planting and in spring, when they begin to sprout leaves. After that, abundant watering is required only during periods of drought. Tulips are frost-resistant and do not need to be removed from the ground. Covering the site before the winter is considered a good gardening practice.
