Tulip - The First - Tulipa - Bold colour in compact growth - Bulbs - Large Pack - 50 pcs

Tulip The First is an early spring highlight, among the very first varieties to bloom, offering a striking mix of red and white with the gentle charm of the season’s initial warm days. It belongs to the Kaufmanniana group, noted for compact growth, decorative foliage and star-shaped flowers that open wide in daylight. Its neat habit makes it ideal for rock gardens, borders, containers and pots. Even before flowering, the patterned leaves and vivid colours give this variety strong ornamental appeal.

Planting time

Plant the bulbs in autumn, from October to November. This timing allows them to form strong roots before winter.

Planting depth

The recommended planting depth is 8-10 cm. This soil cover helps protect the bulbs during cold spells and supports steady growth.

Spacing

Leave roughly 10 cm between bulbs. This gives each plant room to develop and form well-balanced, compact groups.

Height

Tulip The First reaches around 15 cm, a convenient height for edging beds, rock features or small balcony containers.

Flowering period

It flowers very early, from March to April, bringing colour and energy to the garden after winter.

Overwintering

This variety is fully frost-resistant. The bulbs can remain in the ground throughout winter, keeping care straightforward.

Use

The First performs beautifully in low plantings such as rock gardens, front borders and pots. Its two-toned blooms and striped foliage add interest even before flowering. It pairs well with other early spring bulbs, creating eye-catching colour combinations.
