Lady van Eijk Tulip Bulbs — 6 Bulbs

Rich pink above fresh green tulip foliage

Imagine a flower bed by your front door filled with large pink tulips on upright stems. That is the effect Lady van Eijk bulbs can create when planted together. Its single flowers are a rich pink that may appear reddish-pink, with slight variations according to the light and stage of flowering. Pair them with white flowers or grow them alone in a pot or bed.

The pack contains 6 bulbs of the same variety, imported from the Netherlands, rather than mixed colours. Tulipa 'Lady van Eijk' belongs to the Darwin Hybrid group, known for large flowers and sturdy stems. It reaches around 50–60 cm in suitable conditions and suits the middle or back of flower beds and wide pots. The flowering image is illustrative; the pink shade in real life may differ from both the image and the pack photograph. Stem height and flowering time depend on seasonal cold and the planting site.

From bulb to flower: planting guide

• Plant when the weather and soil cool in late autumn or winter, in a sunny position with well-drained soil or a deep pot with drainage holes.
• Set the pointed end upwards and plant approximately 10–15 cm deep, leaving around 10 cm between bulbs. Divide them between two pots if one is too small.
• Water after planting to moisten the soil, then according to soil dryness and rainfall. Avoid standing water.
• After flowering, remove the faded flower and leave the foliage to yellow and dry naturally. Equally strong flowering the following season is not guaranteed.

Pre-chilling: Tulips need a suitable cold period. If this batch has not been pre-chilled and the planting site does not provide enough cold, refrigerating the bulbs for 6–10 weeks in a ventilated paper bag away from fruit may help. Plant them immediately after removing them. Check this batch's chilling status with Hedera.
