Description

Red with yellow: a Darwin hybrid that does her name justice. Hans Brinker from the famous story held back a dike with his finger. This tulip does the same: she does the job, without fuss.

Darwin hybrids were created in 1943 from a cross between the Darwin tulip and Tulipa fosteriana. Hans Brinker benefits from the strength of that cross. Large flower, exceptionally sturdy stem. She grows up to fifty-five centimetres. Red with yellow edge, a classic combination. She excels as a cut flower and holds for weeks in the vase. Wind and rain have little power over this construction. Plant her in full sun with well-draining soil. April and May. She's a persistent grower who won't let you down.

The Hero. Strong, steady, persevering.

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.

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 45 - 50 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.
