The Big Smile tulip is a tulip variety that develops sunny-yellow blooms and enjoys a high standing among growers. It belongs to the single late division and beautifully represents the standard features of this cultivar group. It develops strong erect stems that support the shapely large flowers. The towering, ideally formed flower heads of the Big Smile variety resemble a cloud of a cheerful balloons. The presented tulip that blooms in the second half of May is perfect suited for plantings in the open areas due to its stiff stems that easily withstand rain and wind. This 60 to 65 cm tall tulip looks great in the garden and in planters. The Big Smile is also a great cut flower.

The colourful tulips look tremendously in the garden and in planters on a balcony. The plants may be used in a wide variety of ways. They will fill spring borders and breath-taking, dense stands on lawns. They will rejuvenate the garden when planted under trees and shrubs. Long rows of flowering tulips planted alongside paths or building walls will provide unforgettable visual effects. You should not forget about tulips as cut flowers, either. A tulip bouquet is a clear sign that spring is coming.

Tulips grow best in the sandy-loam soil. They prefer rich, humous and permeable soils. The optimal soil should be moderately moist or moderately dry. The site should be wind-sheltered, sunny or partially shady. We recommend to transplant the bulbs to another site every 3 seasons.

Tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn only, preferably in September and October. Place the bulbs in the previously prepared soil outside or in containers that are at least 20 cm deep. The bulbs should be covered with a soil layer that is at least twice their height thick. We recommend to add some well-fermented compost to the soil before planting in order to improve its properties. Tulips tolerate low temperatures quite well, yet are not 100% frost resistant. We recommend to mulch the sites with conifer twigs or natural mulch before the winter. This treatment will also prevent weeds from growing and the soil from drying.
