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.

Growing Information
Plant tulip bulbs in late summer or autumn. Tulips will grow well in any moist, well drained soil, except for particularly wet soils. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds. When planting tulip bulbs avoid shallow planting as this may reduce the winter cold period that is essential for tulip bulbs to produce flowers in spring. Plant them at a depth of 15cm (6") and at a distance of 13cm (5") apart.
