The Mascara tulip is a unique variety that belongs to the reliable and fail-proof Triumph tulips. The red-chocolate flower of the Mascara tulip proudly presents the best features of its group. The slightly bent petal edges form the classic shape of elliptic, slightly narrowing buds. Their unusual colour is a great match for other colours, such as purple, red, pink, orange, and a little yellow. The subtle chocolate notes look spectacular on flower beds in a garden and in planters on a balcony. This wonderful variety allows you to accentuate the style and character of each composition. The sturdy and reliably blooming Mascara tulip will enrich its surroundings with the satin flowers from end of April to the beginning of May. Presented variety grows about 30 to 45 centimetres tall.

Tulips do nor require any special care from the gardener. Topping the plants - removing of the wilted flowers - is one of the most important grower's tasks. Leave the leaves to dry as their main goal is to supply the bulb with nutrients. Tulips belong to frost resistant plants and can therefore winter in the ground. There is one reason though, for excavating the bulbs. It makes them stronger and bloom more abundantly. Bulbs left in the soil for years tend to get weaker and smaller. Feed tulips to ensure the best possible results. Complex fertilizers are recommended. Use them until the plants start to develop flowers.

Tulips should be planted in a permeable, fertile, moderately moist, and light soil. The site should be sunny - these flowers love the sun yet grow well under leafless trees and larger shrubs. Planting tulip bulbs is a typical gardening task for autumn. You can plan tulip arrangements all September and October long. Planting depth usually does not exceed 10 to 15 centimetres. Plants should be grown in similar distances.
