The Blushing Beauty tulip is a pastel coloured wonder that fits into every garden. The soft, large flowers take on an adorable, distinct pink colour that smoothly changes from various shades of salmon pink to pale yellow. These colours create a fluctuating colour effusion. The fashionable Blushing Beauty tulip is resistant to various weather conditions.  It will not succumb to rain and wind and can therefore be used in plantings in the open. This rather tall variety may grow up to 75 cm in optimal conditions. The beautiful flowers of this variety adorn the garden in May.

The subtle and reliable tulips look magnificent in the garden and in a container on the 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.
