The Cummins tulip is an extraordinary fringe tulip that strikes with its unique colours. Its purple petals end with white fringe. This wonder of nature appears in the garden in May. Strong, erect stems of this tulip support large flower cups and grow between 50 and 60 centimetres tall. This is one of the most beautiful tulips that you can enjoy on borders, flower beds, and colourful lawns. A bouquet or other composition of cut flowers that includes the presented Cummins tulip constitutes an elegant ornament that brings a wonderful visual experience.

Tulips prefer sunny situation or only partial shade. It is worth planning and setting up a tulip flower bed at a frequently visited place. We recommend planting those magnificent flowers next to driveways, a path leading to the house, or in a large planter at the front door.

Tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn. September and October is the optimal time for this activity as the bulbs need time to take root before the winter. Choose light, sandy-clay, loosened soil for tulip cultures. Adding a dab of premium quality soil or compost to the holes is highly recommended. Tulips are rather tolerant when it comes to the site selection. The only thing they do not like is excess moisture in the soil that often leads to diseases.

Plant them between eight and fifteen centimetres deep. Tulip, as species, tolerates gardener's lack of experience, small variations to the planting depth are acceptable. It is recommended to keep the bulbs ten to fifteen centimetres apart. If possible, tulips should be planted in groups of five to ten bulbs or even larger patches that can count up to several dozen of bulbs. It is recommended to dig out the bulbs at the end of June or beginning of July and plant them at some other site in autumn.
