Description
A large red bloom on an unwavering stem. May is his season. Firm, upright, and full of presence. You can spot him from far away.
Alfred Heineken belongs to the Darwin Hybrids. That group was born in 1943. Dirk Lefeber crossed Darwin tulips with Fosterianas. The result: large flowers on strong stems, exactly what a true tulip should be. This red cultivar stands 50 to 60 centimetres tall, scented, and blooms from April to May. He stands upright in wind and weather, thriving in garden and pot alike. Good as a cut flower indoors. Plant in full sun to part shade, in well-draining soil. Bees and butterflies love him.
The Steadfast. A red tulip that does not bend.
The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.
We offer our 100% Bloeigarantie. If nothing comes up, send us a message. You will get new bulbs, or your money back.

About this tulip
What makes this tulip special.
Wit, waar de groep kleurt
Waar Darwin hybriden vooral bekendstaan om rood, oranje en geel, houdt deze het juist bij helder wit.
Forse bloem, stevige steel
Als Darwin hybride draagt hij een grote kelk op een steel die wind en regen goed doorstaat.

Questions about this tulip.
Plant this tulip in Jan, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. As long as the ground is not frozen, there is still time.
Rule of thumb: plant a bulb two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. The exact depth and spacing for this variety are on the planting card attached to the bag and in the planting guide we send along.
Fully grown, this tulip reaches about 50-60 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.
Yes, but not every tulip equally strongly. Botanical tulips and Darwin hybrids come back for years; large-flowered tulips are at their best in the first year.
We offer 100% Bloeigarantie. Send us a message and we will send you new bulbs, or refund you in full.
Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
