Tulip - Cynthia - Tulipa - Striking Yellow-Red Petals - Bulbs - 5 pcs

The Cynthia tulip stands out for its striking two-tone petals - a vivid yellow interior with deep red on the outer side. Its compact height, reaching just 25-30 cm, makes it a strong choice where neat lines and visual contrast are important. Cynthia is especially valued for adding early colour to borders, rockeries, and mixed plantings, with a form that stays tidy and works well alongside other low-growing perennial bulbs. These garden bulbs are known for reliable flowering and visual impact at a time when most plants are just emerging.

Planting Time

Plant Cynthia tulip bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter, giving them the best start for spring growth.

Planting Depth

Place each bulb at a depth of 6-8 cm in well-drained soil. This depth helps protect against frost and ensures healthy development.

Spacing

Allow about 8 cm between each bulb. Proper spacing gives the plants room to grow and reduces the risk of overcrowding, supporting stronger blooms.

Height

Cynthia tulips reach a mature height of 25-30 cm. Their compact form is ideal for planting among similar-sized plants or in areas where proportion and balance are important.

Flowering Time

This variety blooms in April, bringing vibrant colour to the garden early in the season. The bold yellow and red flowers make a striking display while many other plants are still dormant.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Cynthia tulip bulbs are hardy and can be left in the ground throughout winter. In areas with severe frost, a light mulch may be used for added protection, though the bulbs are well adapted to cold conditions.

Uses

Cynthia is well suited to rockeries, perennial borders, small gardens, and containers. Its bold colouring pairs naturally with other early-flowering garden bulbs, and its resilience makes it a practical choice for both formal and informal plantings. Low maintenance and reliable, Cynthia is valued in naturalistic settings where easy care and longevity are important.
