Tulip - Tarafa - Tulipa - Intensely Decorative Colour Contrast - Bulbs - Large Pack - 50 pcs

Tarafa tulips bring a striking burst of red and yellow to spring borders, creating a vivid display from the very first days of the season. Their strong colour contrast is heightened by distinctive striped foliage, making them stand out among other spring-flowering garden bulbs. Belonging to the Greigii group, Tarafa tulips have a compact, low-growing habit that works well both in mixed plantings and as bold, eye-catching groups. With a pack of 50 bulbs, it is easy to achieve a cohesive, decorative effect in beds, borders or containers.

Planting Time

For best results, plant Tarafa tulip bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter sets in.

Planting Depth

Set each bulb at a depth of 8-10 cm in well-drained soil. Proper depth encourages stable growth and healthy flowering in spring.

Spacing

Allow 10-12 cm between bulbs. This spacing ensures each plant has enough room to develop and helps the display look natural and full.

Height

Tarafa tulips reach a height of 25-35 cm. Their compact form makes them ideal for group plantings, mixed displays with other perennial bulbs, or for edging paths and beds.

Flowering Time

This variety blooms in April and May, adding a vivid red-yellow palette to the garden during the heart of spring.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Tarafa tulips are winter-hardy and can remain in the ground for several years. In areas with severe frosts, a light mulch is recommended to protect the bulbs.

Uses

These flower bulbs are suitable for borders, rockeries, along pathways, and beneath trees or shrubs. Their low height is perfect for colourful edging or for planting in groups that draw attention from a distance. Tarafa tulips combine well with other tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths, and are also well suited to pots and containers on balconies or terraces.
