The flowers of the Dom Pedro tulip surprise with their glossy appearance. They sparkle and shine in the sunlight like a satin fabric. Their unique coffee-brown colour is underscored by the crimson gleam. Those shapely cups bloom late in spring, putting their unusual colour in display. The height of up to 70 cm makes it virtually impossible not to notice these dark amber beauties and their noble monumental posture. Tulips of that colour constitute a truly unique garden decoration. They can also be used in elegant bouquets. This heritage variety had been tested by generations of gardeners. It reliably blooms every year without any loss to its primal features, provided it is properly taken care of.

The blooming tulips bring joy and happiness. A small tuft of these most popular bulb flowers should not be missed in any garden. There are so many ways in which you may use their potential. You may grow them on uniform carpet-like borders, in compositions with other bulbous flowering plants and in arrangements with perennials and annuals. They look great on English-style borders grown as lawn edgings. Choose these sturdy, proven tulips for filling containers situated on balconies, terraces and patios. They can be easily incorporated into rock gardens and used as colourful spots between trees and shrubs.

Should you decide to grow tulips, choose a sunny or partially shady site for them. They will not show their full blooming potential in the shade. The soil needs to be permeable. If it is not the case, provide an appropriate drainage layer. Before planting the bulbs in autumn, loosen and weed the ground thoroughly and mix it with a substantial amount of compost in order to provide the plants with the needed nutrition. The optimal pH value of the soil would be neutral or slightly acidic, a tulip site should be sheltered from strong wind, so the flowers do not get damaged. Apart from the frequent, regular weeding, topping plants after the flowers have wilted, is the most important care measure in tulip cultivation. It prevents the bulbs from weakening.

Plant the bulbs at the depth equal twice their height. Put the leaf buds - the pointy tips - up. Cover the bulbs with soil and press it tightly in order to eliminate hollow spaces under the surface. Water the planted bulb only once, abundantly. Tulips are frost-resistant and handle low temperatures well. We recommend to cover them with mulch or conifer twigs before the winter, though.
