Features of Species or Group: |
| |
The double late tulips have been around for centuries.
In 1750, there was already a red-pink double called
'Marriage de ma Fille' in cultivation and the so-
called 'Yellow Rose' was being grown in 1700. These
tulips used to have flowers that were too heavy for
their weak stems, but there has been a definite
improvement since those days. In 1912, double
varieties became more important at the same time as
Triumph tulips and were classified with the existing
species of double late tulips. They now have very
sturdy stems, are 16-24in (40-60cm) tall, and have
double, peony-shaped flowers. However, the heavy
flowers can still be blown over by rain. The colours
are usually red or yellow. |
Features of Genus: |
| |
There are over 100 species of tulips and many hundreds
of hybrids. Most modern garden tulips are the result
of extensive breeding programmes that began in the
late sixteenth century in Europe and are continuing to
this day. Tulips were all the rage at that time as
more and more species were introduced to Europe from
Turkey, Iran and central Asia. Tulip species range in
height from 15-60cm (6-24in) but the greatest number
of hybrids are probably in the range of 30-40cm (12-
16in). Tulips look their best in mass plantings of one
colour but they can, of course, be mixed. They make
very good container plants and are delightful cut
flowers. Some of the most charming are the dwarf types
which do particularly well in rock gardens and are
also suitable for containers. Like daffodils, tulips
are split into a number of divisions according to
their flower form and time of flowering. |

How to Plant Late Blooming Tulips? |
| |
To plant Late Blooming Tulips the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Casablanca Double Tulip should be planted roughly 6-8" deep and 4-6" apart from one another.
Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.
