This exceptional Darwin hybrid tulip called Light And Dreamy proudly presents its colours: the airy combination of pink and lavender purple with a dab of sky blue. This true romantic displays fading colours on petal tips and therefore looks almost magical, as it changes colours during the flower maturing period. The captivating Light And Dreamy tulip will not leave you indifferent, growing in a garden in April. The light, large flowers supported by strong stems that are surrounded by 2 to 3 broad leaves constitute a great addition to borders, containers and vases. What else could you demand from a spring tulip? The Light And Dreamy will fulfil your dream of a sweet tulip that will shine in your garden.

Tulips are rather undemanding in regard to growing conditions. These plants do not require much attention from the gardener. You only need to learn their basic requirements regarding the site in order to enjoy the beautiful flowers. Tulips grow best in the medium heavy to light soil. The loam-sandy soil should be permeable, rich in nutrients and the organic matter. It is recommended to avoid planting tulips in the waterlogged, acid, heavy or dried soil. Tulips prefer sunny sites, yet several hours of shade per day will not hurt them. We recommend to prepare the site for tulip cultivation in advance. The soil should be cultivated, weeded and the larger stones removed from it. The admixture of finely ground compost will provide the bulbs with the much needed support at the start. You may also add some sand in order to make the soil lighter. Tulips do not need to be excavated every year, but we recommend to do so every 3 to 4 years in order to strengthen the plants. This would also allow you to propagate the tulips by separating the bulblets. Tulips tolerate Central European winters and may grow at the same site for at least a few years.

Tulip bulbs have to be planted in autumn. September and October are considered the perfect time for planting. The optimal planting depth equals two heights of a bulb. The planting distance depends on the visual effect you would like to achieve. Allow 15 - 20 cm between the bulbs and the same distance between rows on average.
