Introducing the Tulip 'Queensday', a floral marvel that will undoubtedly be the crown jewel of any garden. With its luscious red-orange petals adorned with green streaks, this tulip variety makes its grand appearance at the tail end of the tulip flowering season. Supported by sturdy stems that reach a height of 40-45 cm, the flowers unfurl to an impressive diameter of 8-10 cm. The 'Queensday' tulip is a sun-lover; it's only in the full embrace of sunlight that these flowers reveal their true magnificence. When planted en masse, these late double tulips create a breathtaking tableau. Their vibrant hues make them ideal for creating striking contrasts, particularly when juxtaposed with flowers in shades of yellow, white, or purple. These flamboyant tulips also stand out beautifully against the backdrop of evergreen shrubs and larger trees, making them unparalleled choices for vivid, springtime bouquets.

When it comes to planting, tulip bulbs should be sown in the autumn at a depth thrice their height, with the pointed end facing upwards. Once in the ground, the soil should be firmly compacted to eliminate any air pockets, followed by a generous watering. Choose a sunny or slightly sheltered location for these tulips, as they won't reach their full blooming potential in shaded areas. The soil should offer good drainage; if it doesn't, consider adding a drainage layer. Prior to planting, prepare the soil by loosening it, weeding, and enriching it with compost to provide the bulbs with essential nutrients. Aim for a soil pH that is neutral to slightly acidic. Protect the planting site from strong winds to prevent any damage to the flowers. After the blooming season, it's advisable to deadhead the plants to conserve the bulbs' energy. While these tulips are frost-resistant, a layer of mulch or decorative covering is recommended for added winter protection.
