Mata Hari is a tulip variety for those seeking a balance of modern style and classic form in the garden. Its cream-and-pink petals, edged with a bold margin, create a striking display that complements contemporary planting schemes. Reaching 45-50 cm in height, these garden bulbs are well suited as a focal point in beds or containers, and their distinctive colouring stands out both in single-variety plantings and mixed perennial borders.
The optimal time to plant Mata Hari tulip bulbs is from September to October. This autumn window allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before winter, supporting healthy growth and vibrant blooms in spring.
Plant each bulb at a depth of 10-12 cm. This ensures reliable winter protection and stable conditions for sprouting when temperatures rise.
Position bulbs 10-12 cm apart. This spacing provides ample room for development and supports good airflow, reducing the risk of disease.
Mata Hari tulips grow to 45-50 cm. This height makes them highly visible, allowing their unique colours to be showcased in garden beds, borders or patio containers.
Flowering occurs in April and May. During this period, the cream-and-pink blooms add a standout feature to the spring garden, making them a popular choice among those who value elegant, seasonal displays from their flower bulbs.
Mata Hari tulips are winter hardy and can remain in the ground after flowering. However, on heavy or persistently wet soils, lifting bulbs at the end of the season may be beneficial to maintain their long-term health.
This variety is effective in both mass plantings and mixed borders with perennials. The attractive flowers are also suitable for containers and cut for indoor arrangements, providing versatility for those who enjoy using bulbs for gardens and floral decoration.
