Description

Small, white with pink blush. She blooms as early as March, when almost nothing else is awake. Water-lily tulip, the flower opens flat in the sun like a cup. 15 to 25 centimetres.

Ancilla is a Kaufmanniana or water-lily tulip. Not a cut flower, but a garden jewel. Early blooming, suitable for pots and rock gardens. Small, delicately built, scented. Plant in full sun or part shade, in well-draining soil. She thrives in calcium and dolomite-rich soils. March-April bloom. Bees and butterflies love her. Not suitable as a cut flower but beautiful in small arrangements.

The Spring. Alarm clock of the garden year.

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.

Tulipa Ancilla

Roomwit met gouden hart

Van binnen roomwit met een goudgeel hart omcirkeld door rood; de buitenkant is rozerood en zachtroze.

Opent tot een stralende ster

Op zonnige uren waaieren de bloemen wijd open en lijken op een glanzende ster — een heel ander kleurbeeld dan gesloten.

Komt jaar na jaar terug

Wordt maar zo'n 20 cm hoog en verwildert makkelijk, zodat hij vanzelf terugkeert.

Where this flower shines.

Good for bees and butterflies

Full of nectar and pollen, so bees and butterflies find your garden effortlessly.

Comes back every year

Once planted it spreads on its own and comes back stronger year after year.

Long lasting in the vase

Stays fresh for days in the vase, so your bouquet lasts longer than usual.

In pots and on the balcony too

Does very well in a pot, so even with just a balcony or terrace you enjoy it fully.

Little work

Plant and leave; it needs hardly any attention and does the rest by itself.

So many places

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 15-25 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.
