Description

Crimson red with golden-yellow edge. May, 50 to 60 centimetres, large bloom on an unwavering stem. Like an old master giving his best cultivar to the next generation.

Apeldoorn Elite descends from the original Apeldoorn, introduced in 1951 by D. W. Lefeber and grown into one of the most popular Darwin Hybrids. This red-yellow variant is among the strongest tulips in the assortment. Tall, strong stems carry large blooms easily. Ideal for mass planting, in groups or borders. A good repeater and good at naturalising. Excellent cut flower. Plant in full sun to part shade, good drainage.

The Heir. Seventy-five years renowned and still going strong.

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% Bloom Guarantee.

Good to know

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 a 100% Bloom Guarantee. 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.
