The Tulip Bulbs - Rembrandt Mix is a stunning collection of tulips in a profusion of colours. The beautiful flowers produced by these bulbs, create stunning flower displays all through flower beds and flower borders. Creating more than just a pretty picture, these tulips are truly delightful grown in decorative patio containers, making more than just a masterpiece.
Although the Tulip Bulbs - Rembrandt Mix are named after famous and renowned artist Rembrandt, he very rarely painted tulips or any flowers for that matter. These Tulips are named because they are decorated by magnificent petals with a painterly strokes of red or yellow as if they had been pulled straight from a painting!
Rembrandt famously immortalised these Tulips in his painting of his wife called ‘Flora’ in which she wears a wreath of flowers. The largest flower of them all is the gorgeous Rembrandt Tulip. Rembrandt lived and worked in Holland around the time that tulips first became all the rage there, particularly the ones with streaks and stripes of colour. These types of tulips were bought for huge sums of money during the so-called ‘Tulipmania’ period (1593–1637), making the Tulips a perfect addition to his painting.
The Tulip Bulbs - Rembrandt Mix includes 5 striking bicoloured Tulips that flower from March until May. Growing to a height of 45cm, these hardy perennials are absolutely perfect for creating beautiful masterpieces in your garden this season.
Tulip Bulbs - Rembrandt Mix are low maintenance and do not need watering very often. Plant the bulbs in rich, well-drained soil and water once planted. Tulip Bulbs - Rembrandt Mix prefer being planted in a sunny or partially shaded area of your garden.
As a rule, plant your bulbs at least twice as deep as their height. So, a bulb that is 5cm tall will do best planted at a depth of 10cm. The exception being tulip bulbs which need a depth of about 20cm. This will prevent them for getting slugged and will encourage flowering year after year.
Plant bulbs in ordinary plastic pots that will in turn fit inside your more attractive containers. Then, when they’ve finished flowering they can be removed, leaving the container ready for summer planting.
When planting in fairly deep containers, try layering your bulbs. Start by placing the largest bulbs at the bottom, add a layer of compost and then the next sized bulbs. Repeat until you have placed the smallest bulbs at the top, covered with a layer of compost.
Bulbs don’t like having damp bottoms (does anyone?) so make sure containers have plenty of drainage holes. When planting direct choose a well-drained spot where the soil is rich with hummus.
When planting direct go for a natural look as opposed to planting in rows. The best way of achieving this is by gently rolling a handful of bulbs over the soil and plant where they land.
If planting in a lawn remember that bulb foliage needs to be left to die down naturally. This will delay your lawn mowing activity so choose a spot where a clump of longer grass mixed with dying bulb foliage won’t look too bad. Alternatively, go ahead and mow, replacing the bulbs in the autumn.
Allowing bulbs to self-seed beneath trees and amongst shrubs means they will naturalise into drifts of stunning colour.
To avoid digging the bulbs up by accident or worse, spearing them with a fork, mark where they are planted.
Tulips are best planted late, in November or even into December.
Make planting easy by using a bulb planting tool. Both long and short handled versions are available. The added bonus being that the correct planting depths are clearly marked.
