Description

The El Nino tulip is a flower that delights with a hot colour mix. Various shades of yellow, orange, and red mingle in irregular stripes as if they have been painted with a brush and seem to dance on the slender flower cups. The main advantage of this variety is that every flower is different. This incredible plant attracts attention from afar. El Nino is a variety that will win hearts of all people who like bright, distinct accents in their surroundings. Flowers that sit atop strong stiff stems offers perfect material for plantings on borders and cut flower for bouquets. Plants reach the height of about 60 centimetres. The flowering period falls for the end of April and the beginning of May.

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.

A single package contains 5 bulbs of the El Nino tulip sized 12/+ cm. Basic plant information and growing instructions can be found in the product information printed on the package.
