The Tulip Darwin 'Apeldoorn Beauty' bears beautiful orange flowers.

The flowers of Darwin tulips are amongst the largest tulip flowers. With their bright colours, perfect shape and solid stems they are perfect as cut flowers. Flowering occurs in April.
Plant the bulbs from October through to December, the pointed end facing upwards, 15cm deep and 15cm apart. Water just after planting, then regularly through the growing period, best in the evening after the sun has set.
Tulips can be grown in tubs, borders or rockeries in tight groups to give a more intense colourful effect.
If there is a dry autumn or winter, some extra watering will be indispensable to ensure the roots establish themselves and they produce good flowers.
