Description

In March, April, and May, Exotic Emperor appears early as a double flower. Cream-white with subtle green and yellow flames, 35 to 45 centimetres tall. This is a Fosteriana tulip that looks double.

Exotic Emperor is a sport (spontaneous mutation) of the well-known, sturdy garden tulip 'Purissima'. That pedigree gives her strength and early blooming. Fosteriana tulips bloom early and have large flowers on strong stems. This is one of two groups most likely to return in your garden. Year after year. Many petals mean they last very long: individual flowers reported up to six weeks. Plant in full sun. Very strong in a vase too.

The Early Emperor. Double in looks, early by nature, strong, of Purissima nobility.

The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. They are 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 35-45 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.
